Introduction
Tony Tony Chopper, also known as "Cotton Candy Lover" Chopper, is the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the Senior Officers of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. He is the sixth member of the crew and the fifth to join, doing so at the end of the Drum Island Arc. He was temporarily forced to join the Foxy Pirates during the Long Ring Long Land Arc but was quickly returned to Luffy's crew. Chopper is a reindeer that ate the Hito Hito no Mi, a Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a human hybrid at will. He was taught medicine on Drum Island by his two parental figures, Doctors Hiriluk and Kureha. Chopper aims to travel all across the world in the hopes of accomplishing his dream of being able to cure any disease. Chopper gained his first bounty of 50 after the incident at Enies Lobby, having been mistaken for the Straw Hats' pet. After the Dressrosa Arc, it was increased to 100, then to 1,000 following the Raid on Onigashima.

Appearance
Summary
Most of the time, Chopper is a toddler-sized human/reindeer hybrid, but his Devil Fruit abilities allow him to change his appearance depending on the situation. Chopper's left antler is braced at the base by a metal plate because it was reattached after being broken during his search for the Amiudake when he was younger (when he thought the Amiudake could cure Hiriluk's disease) and ran into the leader of his old herd, who severely injured him. He usually wears a large pale red/pink fuzzy top hat with a sideways medical cross (given to him by Hiriluk) and a maroon pair of shorts. He also sometimes wears a blue backpack that has the same sideways medical cross as his hat. He also has a remarkable blue nose. As Oda's style evolved and many readers commented on how cute Chopper was, Chopper was given a much more "chibi" like appearance, meaning that when in his preferred transformation (which he calls Brain Point), he has a larger head and eyes and a less defined muzzle than earlier in the series. Many female characters, such as Nami, Robin, Makino, Porche, Shakky, and Vivi find Chopper very cute. There are even males that find Chopper cute such as Foxy and Breed. A running gag is that various characters in One Piece think Chopper is a tanuki (raccoon-dog, often simply translated as "a raccoon") while in his Brain Point or hybrid form. The word "tonakai", which is the Japanese word for "reindeer", is where the "Tony" in Chopper's name is derived from. His Heavy Point or human form is likewise mistaken for a gorilla (or an abominable snowman on his home island).
Before The Timeskip
Similar to most of his male crewmates, Chopper has the same outfit throughout most of the series. In the Arabasta Arc, he wore a white shirt with a green-lined collar, then a bigger one with giant sleeves that is light blue with dark blue liners. In the Enies Lobby Arc, he wore a red leather jacket. In the Post Enies Lobby Arc, he wore a blue t-shirt with a white Galley-La Company logo on it. In the Thriller Bark Arc, he wore a crucifix necklace.
After The Timeskip
After two years, Chopper is significantly leaner. He is less potbellied than he was in earlier seasons and his arms/forelimbs are also skinnier. It is arguable that since leaving the cold climate on Drum Island, he has lost significant body fat. The color of his fur has changed from brown to gold, and according to Nami (when she and Chopper reunite on Sabaody), the texture has gotten softer. Chopper now wears a blue cap that has a ring of dots around the circle, while the cap has buckles hanging from it. He wears this over his old pink hat. He also wears a white and yellow vertical-striped tank top, which he takes off when he transforms into Heavy Point and an orange pair of shorts. Aside from being slightly slimmer and having his fur change from dark brown into a light brown color, Chopper's Brain Point form has not changed. His Walk Point (reindeer) form has grown considerably, now being roughly as tall as Usopp. His horns are larger, he has more muscle, and his fur is longer. His Heavy Point has become exceedingly larger and more muscular, being almost the size of Dosun's. He also developed new transformations through his research during the timeskip, which he debuts on Fish-Man Island, including Kung Fu Point (which he uses to defeat Neptune's soldiers) and a revised Horn Point (which he uses against Daruma). While on Punk Hazard, he was given a black coat by Kin'emon using his Devil Fruit powers. He was later dressed up in samurai attire made from the same ability when the crew had departed from Punk Hazard. At the start of the Dressrosa Arc, Chopper wore camouflage clothing. After the crew split up, he changed his headgear for the first time since the timeskip, putting on a football helmet with holes for his antlers that had three horizontal stripes running vertically down the middle, with two small ones beside one larger one, as well as large stars on each side of the helmet. He also put on a zippered coat with the same stripe pattern running horizontally all around the middle of the coat, with an inverse coloration of the stripes on the helmet and a pattern of stars inside the large stripe on the coat. During his stay on Zou, Chopper's outfit consists of his original timeskip hat with a crown on top. He wears no shirt and has a long open coat with fur and fancy jewelry attached. Upon leaving Zou, Chopper wore an open doctor's coat. During the Whole Cake Island Arc, he wore a yellow overcoat and had a pink scarf wrapped around his hat. Afterward, when meeting with the Fire Tank Pirates he wore an outfit similar to Luffy's, a black suit (dark blue in the anime) with a green shirt and a yellow ascot. During the Wano Country Arc, he wore a green ninja outfit. Later, before the raid on Onigashima, Chopper wore a dark bluish-green samurai armor, complete with a Kabuto helmet and a Katana. During the Raid on Onigashima, Chopper switches to a new set of samurai armor, this time red-colored, with a matching red Kabuto helmet, and his katana on the side of his hip. When Kin'emon used his Devil Fruit abilities again to disguise them, he wore a Beasts Pirates disguise with a dark fur coat and a one-horned hat with a star-like symbol in the middle. While under the effects of the Ice Oni virus, Chopper's body and armor became partially frozen over, with Chopper slowly developing a slightly more demonic appearance and even partial fangs. Chopper's appearance was returned to normal shortly after administering the countervirus. During the Egghead Arc, Chopper wears a sky-blue hooded long coat with the SSG logo on the front. He also wears a matching Hat resembling a space helmet but with a pale orange visor attached and a pair of matching goggles also on top of it. He also wears an earpiece and a pair of hot pink DOM Shoes. During the Elbaph Arc, Chopper has currently received a viking style outfit due to Road imprisoning him in his Land of Gods. Chopper's outfit consists of long striped blue and pink overalls with a red leather belt, a white fur cape, and a large red and gold hornless viking helmet over his hat, along with gold decorations covering the tips of his antlers.

Tony Tony Chopper/Personality And Relationships
Introduction
Personality
Overview
Chopper is naïve and extremely timid towards unfamiliar humans, often acting like a child because he does not know any better. Like Luffy, he is easily impressed at things like beams, cannons and hidden abilities. He is a coward at times like Usopp and Nami, although his cowardice can be attributed to his childishness and overall lack of trust in his own fighting skills (a contrast to Nami's self-survival-based cowardice and Usopp's insecurity-based cowardice). He would rather run and hide than fight but becomes more courageous when others are there to support him. Chopper is more or less on a journey to define himself, seeing almost anyone on his team as a role model and in some cases, imitate their behavior, especially Usopp. Being the youngest, Chopper is the most emotional Straw Hat and very much considers the crew his "family", when forced to be part of the Foxy Pirates during the Davy Back Fight Chopper was distraught and cried that he was a Straw Hat and only stopped bawling when Zoro ordered him to "man up". After the timeskip, Chopper seems to have grown more confident, much like Usopp. He no longer strives to be looked at as a human, now only wanting to "be a monster that can help Luffy" as he put it. He even has grown mature enough to smack his crewmates, mostly Zoro and Luffy, when they try to do something stupid or extreme. He also seems to have outgrown most habits mentioned above, but his habit of peeking still remains. Chopper is capable of romance, though he shows no interest in human females. However, he was blushing around the reindeer mink, Milky, acting in a very Sanji-like manner with love hearts replacing his eyes.
Kindness
Immensely kind-hearted by nature, Chopper is an upright friend and caring companion who will try anything to overcome a task given by his team. Even back when he was Hiriluk's assistant, he would go to extreme lengths just to acquire a mushroom which he thought would cure Hiriluk's chronic disease. Chopper seems to be very forgiving of those close to him, for when Usopp wanted to rejoin the crew at the end of the Enies Lobby Arc, he called out to Luffy and Zoro, although they were ignoring him completely.
Doctors Code
His dream is to carry out his deceased mentor, Hiriluk's belief that there is no incurable disease, and to become a doctor that can cure any illness. To this end, his childish nature vanishes whenever his medical skills are required. He does not hesitate in the least in any actions regarding the well-being of his patients. An extremely dedicated follower of the Hippocratic Oath, Chopper strongly believes that a doctor's duty is supposed to help save people and becomes angered when somebody treats life without proper respect, similar to how Sanji believes a cook's duty is to feed anyone who's hungry and gets offended easily by anyone wasting food respectively. This was why he was greatly furious at his former hero, Dr. Hogback, when the man treated the patients' and Zombies' lives, and deaths, so callously. He was also utterly enraged at Caesar Clown for kidnapping and experimenting on children as well as making them addicted to drugs. Adhering to his beliefs, Chopper would readily help any injured victims or patients he comes across and does it with immense determination. He was determined to help Mocha and the other children who were tricked into becoming test subjects in Caesar's deadly experiments. Similarly, Chopper wasted no time in treating the Mink Tribe after they were brutally devastated by the Beast Pirates. Also, Chopper holds his position as a doctor in high regards and will become distraught if he failed to save someone. When Luffy was on the verge of death from eating the skin of a poisonous fish, Chopper tried every antidote with no success, causing him to claim he had no right to call himself a doctor. Due to his morals, Chopper is infuriated by those who use artificial diseases as weapons like the Beasts Pirates did with the Mummy virus. During the raid at Onigashima, he was willing to help allies and enemies alike who were infected by Queen's Ice Oni and stated that anyone who uses it as a weapon will eventually lose control of it. Due to his strong belief in the Hippocratic Oath, Chopper, unlike a majority of the male members of the crew, does not actively enjoy fighting, despite being a pirate. In fact, it's been shown that Chopper mostly fights only for self defense, or to protect his friends, crewmates, loved ones, and finally his patients. He would rather not harm anyone if he doesn't have to, however; after his fight with Gedatsu his resolve towards actively fighting against people becomes slowly less defensive, and after the timeskip his resolve to fight has grown even further. There have only been a few examples of Chopper openly choosing to harm someone outside of the traditional running gags, fights and interactions that he has with his crew: When Chopper tried to fight Wapol to avenge Hiriluk's death, only to be stopped by Dalton. When Wapol returned a couple of years later to take back his kingdom and castle, Chopper openly fought to keep him from claiming either. When he tries to smash Hogback's head in after seeing the doctor's complete disregard for both the lives of the living and the lives of the Zombies he creates. When he attacks the Franky Family alongside Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji out of rage for them beating up Usopp and stealing their money from him. When he joined the rest of the crew in fighting back against Oars. When he loses control of himself while in his Monster Point transformation before learning to control said form. When he fights Queen in his Monster Point transformation, after curing everyone from one of Queen's artificial plagues, stating his anger towards Queen's usage of man-made viruses, as well as his complete disregard for his own allies' lives, assaulting Queen in said form for as long as he could.
Love For Sweets
Chopper has a sweet tooth and can be just as gluttonous as Luffy when it comes to eating sweets. True to his epithet, his favorite food is cotton candy and he will gleefully accept any opportunity to enjoy this treat. Alongside Luffy, he was ecstatic when arriving in Totto Land, which is made entirely of sweets and even devoured an entire chocolate cafe on Cacao Island. While Chopper and Carrot hid inside the gigantic wedding cake during the mission to save the Vinsmokes, Chopper constantly eats it non-stop.
Running Gags
He still has a feeling of distrust for humans from his youth, and will often outright insult and claim that compliments do not make him happy even though he is obviously happy about it (he starts to do the "Dirty Old Man" dance which was a bit by famous Japanese comedian Ken Shimura, which became a running gag). At least once, Chopper has done this dance while in Monster Point, in which case it did not look cute and only managed to disturb Usopp, who had caused Chopper to react this way by praising his newfound usefulness in being able to now control this form. Another one of Chopper's habits is his reverse cartoon peek, where he stands behind a wall or a doorway and peeks at people, trying not to be seen by them. Unfortunately, he is not hiding his body behind the wall and as a result, his body is visible and only one half of his face is hidden. A running gag is that Chopper will believe just about anything he hears, making him easy prey for Usopp's stories and his "Sogeking" disguise. He also believed Nami when she lied to Lola about being a man, even though the truth was very obvious. In fact, until Jinbe stated otherwise, he thought that the captain's duty was not to listen to anyone. Chopper also believed the Fake Straw Hat Crew were the real Straw Hats despite them looking nothing like their real counterparts. Another running gag is that various characters think Chopper is a tanuki (raccoon-dog, often simply translated as "a raccoon") while in his Brain Point or hybrid form which greatly annoys him and constantly trying to correct them. He also tends to panic quickly, and subsequently, let some crucial facts slip his mind. One example is when there is someone who is injured, he often panics and screams "Call a doctor!!". It is not until he figures out that he is the doctor that he starts to tend to the injured person. Another one is when he (and Brook) jumps into the water without hesitating to save Luffy from drowning, only to drown with him (since the Devil Fruit which he had eaten makes it impossible for him to swim). He, together with Brook and Luffy, ends up being saved by the other members of the crew.
Relationships
Crew
Summary
Notably, Chopper originally was not hired to be the ship's doctor by Luffy, but just for being a "talking transforming reindeer monster". The other boys of the crew have often mentored Chopper on what it means to be a real man, as he is the youngest crewmate, not originally human, and has had a relatively sheltered life. Within his combat relationships, he has at least three canon team attacks, and as a homage to his personality (which can be easily influenced), each of the attacks are named with half of the other crew member's name and half of his name. All of the examples feature the fellow crew member's name first in the name then his own such as "Hissatsu Uso-Cho Hammer Suisei" where Usopp's name is the first mentioned.
Monkey D Luffy
Within the group, Chopper often fools around with Luffy for laughs and is one of the first to join in with Luffy's antics. Although he tends to fool around with him the most, he has also received some of his greatest motivation from Luffy. His mentor Dr. Hiriluk originally introduced Chopper to the concept of being a pirate and the conviction behind the pirate flag, but Luffy was the first real-life pirate that he got to witness, in the Drum Island Arc. He was amazed by how much Luffy as the captain cared for his crew, as demonstrated by the lengths he went to for Nami and Sanji. He was awestruck when Luffy took head-on attacks from Wapol in order to defend the honor of Dr. Hiriluk's flag. Luffy's persistent requests for Chopper to join the crew annoyed him greatly, but it also moved him to see that Luffy actually liked him for his transformations, when his whole life they had led to him being cast out and deemed a monster. Chopper deeply cares for Luffy as he will jump in the ocean to save his captain, despite having to be dragged out too since he's a Devil Fruit user. After the timeskip, Chopper is more willing to beat up Luffy for stupid decision making but still strongly respects him as captain, as seen when he witnessed Luffy defeat and tame Surume. In Punk Hazard, when the kids were drugged by Caesar Clown, Chopper told Luffy the importance of not letting the kids eat the "candy" and Luffy respected his knowledge as a doctor. When Chopper heard of what Luffy wanted to achieve after he became the Pirate King he was simply amazed by the very notion of his captain's dream.
Roronoa Zoro
Chopper also seems to have a close relationship with Zoro, whom Chopper near idol worships because he is "so cool". Much like he does with Luffy and Usopp, they have a very close relationship. During the Long Ring Long Land Arc, Chopper is separated from the crew due to the Straw Hats losing an event and becomes distraught. Zoro yells at him to quit complaining, as being a pirate was his decision, and thus in this world, no one will respect his tears. This strengthens Chopper's resolve as a pirate, and he becomes much less prone to crying and complaining, despite his child-like nature. Zoro taught Chopper that even though every crewmate has separate dreams, they still stick together as a crew and are stronger this way. One of his favorite things to do is to ride on Zoro's shoulders when they are traveling and often runs to him when he is scared. Zoro also seems more protective of Chopper than anyone else. It is seen that Zoro is the one to save him when he comically falls into any form of water when trying to escape Nami's wild mood swings (while Sanji has saved Luffy frequently in comparison), though Chopper still gets annoyed with Zoro whenever he takes off bandages from injuries he sustained from battles or is attempting to train before his injuries have fully healed. However, he does irritate Zoro when Chopper clings to his face to avoid falling into water such as what happened at Water 7 during Aqua Laguna. Chopper is not afraid to argue or wrestle the swordsman and hates it when Zoro shows a lack of care for absent crew members. After the timeskip, Chopper is more willingly to beat Zoro up for any stupid decision making but still strongly respects his skills as shown when he was awestruck by his vastly improved strength in the fight against Surume.
Nami
Nami is very fond of Chopper and is the first of the crew to recognize him as a doctor. She respects his knowledge in medicine and cares for his safety as much as her own. Likewise, Chopper respects her ability to navigate; though he tends to be afraid of her obsessive love for money and violent nature towards the "idiots" of the crew so much so that he runs or puts up his Guard Point during these mood swings. The two share a relationship that is much like an older sister's and a younger brother's. Nami will hug onto Chopper's fur for warmth in cold situations or when she is scared. Nami and Chopper are very protective of each other, like when Franky first suggested killing Chopper to end his rampage in his Monster Form Nami threatened to kill him if he did so (though the two did come up with a better plan to save Chopper). In spite of this Nami did hold Chopper up as a shield from a charging Zoro who Nami thought Zoro was going to attack her on Punk Hazard, when in truth, Zoro was trying to protect them from Monet. Nami and Chopper also bonded in sadness over Sanji's exit in Zou and were the first to volunteer to go save him with Luffy. When Absalom was stalking Nami, Chopper went out of his way to protect her. Nami also comforted Chopper when he was upset over Hogback's betrayal. Due to his innocence and lack of interest in human females, Nami lets Chopper (despite him being a male) see her naked in the bath and even invites him to join her.
Usopp
Initially, Usopp was terrified at the sight of Chopper but after he learns that Chopper was Luffy's friend, he treats him better especially when the latter joins the crew. Due to his naïve nature, Chopper is a fateful listener to Usopp's lies, most of which he really believes, at least for a short time. Initially bonding with Usopp as one of the weaker members of the crew, Usopp advised him that "you must always still do what you can do for the crew". This includes never running away in certain circumstances, especially when the dreams of your friends aren't being taken seriously. He has taken this advice deeply to heart ever since. In fact, he felt his first validation as a pirate when he decided not to run from Skypiea Priest Gedatsu, and eventually defeated him. When Usopp left the crew, Chopper was one of the most affected crew members, and after Luffy beat Usopp in the duel for the Going Merry, Chopper wanted to go treat his injuries immediately but had to be forcibly stopped by Sanji, who ordered him not to stomp on Usopp's pride by healing him after his defeat (when he already had been given mercy by Luffy). Chopper still gave some medicine for Usopp to use but left him be. Chopper missed Usopp dearly despite Zoro telling him not to mention his name anymore and fell completely for Usopp's "Sogeking" disguise, even asking him for an autograph. After Enies Lobby, when Usopp apologized and rejoined the crew, Chopper burst into happy tears of joy as his friend returned. Chopper, Usopp and Nami were most scared in Thriller Bark, but Chopper was willing to fight off zombies to save Usopp and both of them united to protect Nami from Absalom and Lola. After the timeskip, Chopper is still in awe of Usopp, as seen in Zou when he hugged Usopp after their reunion.
Sanji
Sanji originally wanted to cook Chopper (along with Luffy who wanted to eat him raw) and jokingly wants him to join as "emergency food supply" in the Drum Island Arc but Sanji also listened with Nami to Chopper's past, learning that humans attacked him for looking like a monster so when Chopper asked Sanji what Luffy "was" Sanji replied with a smile: "He's a monster" showing the doctor that being different didn't mean you couldn't be accepted. Throughout the series, Sanji continues to refer to him as "the emergency food supply" to tease him, but strongly considers Chopper a friend. In fact, due him being the youngest, Sanji cares for him most out of all the males on board the crew. Chopper idolizes the cook for his raw fighting strength and is awed by Sanji's burning rage. Chopper will often hide behind Sanji's leg when Nami's angry or there is an enemy close by, leading to Sanji patting Chopper's head in comforting way and Chopper will sometimes take a ride on the cook's shoulders. Sanji has taught Chopper many lessons like when Robin was leaving the crew Sanji told the doctor that a real man forgives a woman's lies. After the time skip, the pair still get along though Chopper was one of the first people to realize how life-threatening Sanji's nosebleeds were, even begging the fish-men for blood donations. Chopper cried with joy when Sanji saved them from Doflamingo, was highly interested in Sanji's arranged marriage to Pudding, and completely distraught (along with Nami) over Sanji leaving the crew, even yelling at Zoro when the swordsman ridiculed Sanji. Chopper was so anxious to see Sanji again he mistook Sanji's malicious brother Vinsmoke Yonji for Sanji when he first saw him. Like the rest of the crew, Chopper was shocked when Sanji turned down Pudding.
Nico Robin
He shares a taste for reading with Robin who called him "Doctor-san" when she first joins the crew, which made him dance in joy. They also seem to have a genuine sense of respect for each other, possibly due to their pursuits in knowledge; ironically, he was originally rather intimidated of Robin upon finding out that she specializes in assassinations, fearing that she will one day assassinate him once his guard has been let down, but at the same time, was amused when she first displayed her Devil Fruit powers to entertain both him and Luffy, and eventually opened up to her. His fondness towards Robin is what compelled Chopper to use his Monster Point Form against Kumadori during his battle in the Judiciary Tower. In return, she treats Chopper not only an equal in terms of intellect but also with a motherly nature as she got him out of the clutches of Foxy's right-hand woman.
Franky
Though he disliked Franky at first when they officially met at Enies Lobby, blaming him as the reason Usopp left the crew and for beating up the sniper (unaware their new friend Sogeking is Usopp) as well as stealing their treasure. When Chopper was fighting Kumadori he encountered Franky also fighting CP9 agent Fukurou, the Cyborg requested that Chopper throw him some cola, Chopper was reluctant to do so but threw Franky some bottles anyway. Chopper watched in amazement as the Cyborg's hairstyle and attitude changed until Franky yelled at him to stop messing around as he saw that Chopper was enjoying seeing him change with every drink saying, "He's the funniest thing ever". When Chopper went on a rampage in his Monster Point, Franky initially suggested killing him but at Nami's strong urging he changed his decision. Franky instead knocked Chopper into the ocean to deactivate his powers and quickly dived into the water to save him before he drowned. After the conflict, it appears any lingering animosity Chopper possessed towards Franky has ended as he was alright in letting him be a member of the crew. After Franky's entry into the crew, Chopper is amazed by Franky's inventions (especially the Mini Merry II) and shows great respect for him. He is also in awe of Franky's robotic body, especially after the timeskip. Franky is very much a brother figure towards Chopper and the cyborg will let the doctor ride on his head when they are traveling.
Brook
When Chopper first met Brook, he was understandably terrified of him because he was a walking and talking skeleton and argued with Usopp that he would not accept him as a crewmate. But after hearing the story about Brook and Laboon, Chopper cried and even stated he was not afraid of skeletons anymore. After Brook's entry into the crew, Chopper and Brook get along very well despite Brook being the oldest Straw Hat and Chopper being the youngest. It is shown Chopper loves the undead skeleton's music and will often dance to it. After the timeskip, Chopper is not afraid to yell at the undead musician, making Brook scream in a panic, which is ironic considering he has more of a frightening appearance. Brook did get jealous of Chopper and Momonosuke getting special treatment from Nami and was reluctant to play songs when requested but hating to disappoint Chopper and Nami so he played for his friends anyway. When Giolla attacked, Brook feigned allegiance towards her. Chopper was afraid that Brook betrayed them but was relieved when Brook saved them instead. After Brook was captured by Charlotte Linlin in the Whole Cake Chateau, Chopper was of the few who took part in retrieving him and after doing so, he was amazed that Brook managed to gain copies of the Poneglyphs in Big Mom's possession.
Jinbe
Chopper is shown to be very amazed at Jinbe's strength and was one of the first to encourage Jinbe to join the Straw Hats, commenting that having a former Warlord would be a great asset to the crew. Chopper considers Jinbe to be very cool, having cried in joy seeing how he defied Big Mom.
Family
The Herd
Chopper's biological family is a herd of reindeer, who abandoned him for being different. Initially estranged for being born with his blue nose, he is further abandoned after eating the Hito Hito no Mi, which gave him two "unreindeer-like" humanoid forms. He eventually found his path intertwined with them again during his days with Hiriluk when he was beaten up by them (where his left antler was broken). However, he was able to pass through them despite this and achieve his goal at the time.
Hiriluk
Hiriluk was Chopper's mentor who took him in and became his "father". They had a close relationship with each other and had formed a deep bond despite their almost constant arguing with each other and Chopper had a hard time when he was informed of the disease Hiriluk is suffering from. He found Chopper one day while traveling home in a blizzard. At first Chopper tried to knock him away, but Hiriluk earned his trust by stripping naked in the cold, showing that he did not have any weapons or intention of hurting Chopper. From then on, the two slowly formed a sort of father/son relationship, traveling (and in a way terrorizing) the island trying to cure patients and generally resulting in them having to literally run for their lives from angry patients or their associates. Despite his time spent with the superior Doctor Kureha, Chopper refers to Hiriluk as "the greatest doctor in the world." Hiriluk also gave Chopper his name, claiming his antlers looked like they could chop down trees.
Kureha
Chopper's adoptive mother and mentor in medical science. When she realizes that Hiriluk is dying, she agrees (reluctantly) to his last requests: to make his life's work come to fruition and to train Tony Tony Chopper in medicine. During the time since Hiriluk's death, she trains Chopper in medicine, claiming she taught Chopper "everything she knew", and was fairly impressed by the young reindeer's skill. She only once complimented Chopper's skill in a filler episode, after Chopper cured her of a life-threatening illness without any of Kureha's medical advice. Though neither family nor claiming to have adopted him, Dr. Kureha is his mentor. While she often hides her feelings towards him, she considers him to be her son. She is very happy to know he is currently doing well.
Friends
Drum Island
Back on Drum Island, the people have come to accept his help in defeating Wapol, even though originally, they were afraid of him.
Dalton
Dalton also has a sound view of Chopper, whom he views with the highest respect having saved the kingdom of Drum and was the one who saved his life six years ago by stopping an angry Chopper from fighting a hopeless battle against Wapol and his army to avenge Hiriluk's death, having recognized what he was trying to do. He keeps an eye out for Dr. Kureha's "son" and was the first to tell her when Chopper gained a bounty.
Sodom And Gomorrah
Sodom and Gomorrah have developed a special relationship with the doctor of the Straw Hat crew, since he was the only one who could understand what they were saying and could translate their wishes and feelings to the rest of their comrades. After the battle, Chopper was also the one to treat their serious wounds, for which they were grateful.
Torino Kingdom Citizens
After being "sent" to the Torino Kingdom, Chopper was very distressed as he was treated as a plaything by the birds and hounded by the natives as food. However, after Chopper managed to resolve the conflict between the natives and the birds, he was treated almost like a hero. After receiving Luffy's message he returned and the natives were glad to share their knowledge of herbs, medicines, and plants with Chopper, especially after he helped solve their conflict. The giant birds of Torino Kingdom were also happy to fly Chopper to the Grand Line whenever he wanted to.
Mink Tribe
Due to his group's efforts in saving the Mink Tribe after they were devastated by an attack from Jack, Chopper and his crew are considered as saviors to the minks. Therefore, they formed a harmonic relationship.
Milky
Chopper became highly infatuated with the female reindeer mink, Milky. When she rubbed against his cheek and called him "Doctor Chopper", Chopper fell over dazed in a very Sanji-like manner, complete with love hearts in his eyes, causing Usopp to wonder what had come over the usually platonic Chopper.
Carrot
Chopper became well acquainted with Carrot after she joined the 'Sanji Retrieval Team' to Whole Cake Island. They work well together as a team, having helped each other navigate Charlotte Brûlée's Mirro-World and successfully enacting their plan to defeat her. Carrot herself respects Chopper's strategic genius and affectionately refers to him as "Cho-niki" (a portmanteau of Chopper and "brother").
Miyagi And Tristan
Chopper, Miyagi and Tristan hold a tight professional relationship, with both minks having provided assistance to the Straw Hat doctor's medical endeavors multiple times. Miyagi holds a profound admiration for Chopper's medical knowledge and skills, being eager to learn more about the reindeer's work and rushing to witness it whenever he has the chance. Tristan, Miyagi's assistant, dutifully follows her superior around, sometimes trying to rein in Miyagi's enthusiasm.
Enemies
Wapol
One of Chopper's major enemies is Wapol, the spoiled king who insulted the death of Chopper's surrogate father, Dr. Hiriluk, among other things. With Luffy’s coming, Chopper not only managed to get revenge for his father but also with Luffy’s aid, they managed to prevent Hiriluk’s flag from being burnt.
Marines
He is wanted by the Marines, albeit with an extremely low bounty of only 1,000 belly due to being mistaken as a pet, and with only one of his transformations noted in the bounty poster.
Hogback
Chopper initially idolized Dr. Hogback solely based on his reputation as a doctor of legendary skills and outright and angrily stood up for him when Nami and Usopp spoke negatively about him based on the suspicious circumstances, despite barely knowing the man personally. However, after learning of his disregard for human life and that he uses his medical expertise only for fame and wealth while considering his patients as annoyances (as opposed to Chopper's philosophy of a doctor must cure any patient regardless of reward and circumstances), Chopper declared that he no longer considers him a doctor and even tried to smash his head when coming into conflict with him and the rest of Gecko Moria's forces.
Caesar Clown
Despite not having had a personal encounter with Caesar Clown (until the end of the Punk Hazard Arc), Chopper has quickly grown to despise the mad scientist after discovering the cruel experiments he conducted on the children he kidnapped (similar in a way to Dr. Hogback). Despite this, after saving the children, Chopper's hatred of him seems to have lessened somewhat, willing to heal his wounds after his confrontation with Luffy, even stopping Sanji from kicking him in the face anymore while healing him (but he did give him permission to continue after he was done patching him up). Chopper has also shown admiration for Caesar's scientific expertise, if only momentarily, after believing he was the one who was originally responsible for creating SMILEs, even calling him a "genius" (which he enjoyed), but quickly dismisses him after founding out that Vegapunk was the one who really discovered it first. However, upon seeing Caesar's delight at how his Koro gas decimated the Mink Tribe, Chopper finally lost patience with him and beat him up personally, forcing him to make an antidote for the minks while Sanji threatened to destroy Caesar's disembodied heart. Despite Chopper's dislike of Caesar, the latter was allowed to help the reindeer perfect the Rumble Ball formula, having given Chopper a list of ingredients that could be used to improve the time limit of his Monster Point.
Queen
Chopper stands against Queen's development and weaponization of viral diseases, considering those practices highly dangerous and unethical due to the uncontrollable nature of viruses. The existence of both the Mummy and Ice Oni viruses shocked Chopper, who was able to witness their deadly, cruel effects firsthand. Because of this, Chopper worked hard to develop cures for both diseases. Queen underestimated Chopper's ability to cure his viruses, as he viewed the reindeer as nothing more than a lowly ship's doctor. Queen also believed that Chopper was tricking the victims of his Ice Oni disease with the promise of a cure due to his own views of the world of piracy, where lies and treachery run rampant. When Chopper managed to prove him wrong, however, Queen was angered, especially after Chopper started lecturing him about medical ethics. Like many other characters, Queen refers to Chopper as a tanuki. Chopper, predictably angry about this, clarified to Queen that he was in fact, a reindeer, while hitting the All-Star in the face when given the opportunity by Marco. Even though Chopper kept assaulting him in Monster Point, Queen remained arrogant towards Chopper and admitted that he was not taking the reindeer seriously in battle as he was prepared to finish him off, just before Sanji intervened.

Tony Tony Chopper/Abilities And Powers
Introduction
Overview
Summary
Typically, it is rare for doctors to fulfill roles other than medical practices for the benefit of those around them, but as the Straw Hat Pirates' doctor, Chopper's responsibilities are not limited to just medicine alone. He occasionally performed tasks like steering the ship as their unofficial helmsman while on the Going Merry, and during the heat of battle, he can also fulfill the role of a physical fighter to support his friends. However, due in part to his lack of battle experience or formal training (as well as his Rumble Ball's time limited effect) Chopper was originally considered part of the "Weakling Trio" along with Nami and Usopp. This lay largely in his lack of battle intuition and naïveté at the time, though it is shown that he has gotten much more capable after his two years of training on Torino Kingdom. In spite of his usual fearful behavior, Chopper is shown to have a strong will as he withstood a burst of Supreme King Haki from Big Mom.
Tactical Skills
Summary
Chopper has a high power of analysis and deduction and can think in how to deal with situations in smart ways. In the Alabasta Arc, during his battle against Mr. 4, Miss Merry Christmas and Lassoo, Chopper understood Mr. 4's abilities and fighting style and how dangerous they are through observation. He even thought of a way to use the battlefield and the opponents' own abilities against them. In the Skypiea Arc, during his fight against Gedatsu, Chopper understood how his opponent's attack Swamp Cloud Burger works and how dangerous it is by watching Gedatsu use it against his own subordinate. During the Whole Cake Island Arc, Chopper showed again great tactical skills in the middle of his confrontation with Charlotte Brûlée as he and Carrot came up with a method to deceive her by using a decoy of Carrot created by Brûlée's power. He has shown to be very analytical, as he examined his surroundings before taking action. He pretended to remain restrained by chains in his Heavy Point, and when Carrot toppled the soup towards Brûlée and electrocuted most of the enemies, Chopper used the element of surprise by changing into Brain Point to break free before using Monster Point, subjugating the Crocodile homie and wiped out the remaining enemies. Chopper even thought of exploiting Brûlée's Devil Fruit ability to transverse Big Mom's territory through the Mirro-World in order to find and save his friends while remaining undetected by a majority of the Big Mom Pirates. His strategy received praise from Capone Bege, the captain of the Fire Tank Pirates and a master tactician. During the mission to rescue Brook, Chopper used a skeleton with seaweed for hair to use as a replacement for Brook after they retrieved him from Charlotte Linlin.
Zoolingualism
Summary
Because he is originally an animal, Chopper can understand and communicate with other animals, thus allowing him to serve as a translator between animals and humans. This was first seen when Chopper translated Karoo's speech on how he ended frozen in the icy waters of Drum Island next to the Going Merry.
Medical Expertise
Summary
Having studied under Dr. Kureha, one of the finest doctors of the medically advanced Drum Kingdom, Chopper himself is an extraordinary doctor with outstanding talent. He has deep knowledge of both medicine and medical drugs as well as the preparations of most remedies and ointments that can be made from medicinal plants that can be found and used on most islands. He is also capable of administering surgery and resuscitation. Overall, Chopper can treat even the most brutal injuries. During the two years he spent self-studying the Torino Tribe's massive collection of books on herbalism in the Torino Kingdom, Chopper's knowledge of pharmacology has immensely increased. In the Torino Kingdom, Chopper learnt countless new and highly effective remedies, ointments, unknown herbs with great healing properties and other medicinal drugs that were developed by the inhabitants of the Torino Kingdom which are largely unknown to the rest of the world. With this new understanding of medicinal drugs, combined with the medical skills he had already mastered in the Sakura Kingdom, the scope of Chopper's medical skills have become noticeably wider. The greatest example of this is during the Zou Arc, as Chopper, with the assistance of the Mink Tribe's doctors, was able to use all of these skills to treat the gigantic, thousand-year-old elephant Zunesha, whose leg was badly injured by the Beasts Pirates. Chopper was able to invent his very own drug known as the "Rumble Ball", through 5 years of research, which helps to increase his Devil Fruit's fighting capabilities. In addition, while he was under the apprenticeship of Dr. Kureha, Chopper became aware of the highly addictive drug NHC10 (which only selected scientists in selected countries are allowed to use), and its harmful side effects. He is capable of stabilizing the condition of someone suffering from an overdose of the drug. Chopper also easily created a cure for one of Queen's deadliest viruses, the Mummy virus, doing so in a relatively short amount of time. Furthermore, Chopper knows how to engineer viruses of his own, but only with the intent of counteracting other viral diseases, being able to successfully reverse engineer Queen's antidote for the Ice Oni Virus in a very short period of time, shocking Queen. He also created a drug that enables minks to access their Sulong Forms anytime without the need of the full moon. He has been shown being able to give successful blood transfusions (even between two different species: a human and a fish-man, though human and fish-men do carry the same blood), as he did to save the lives of both Sanji and Luffy, after too much blood loss (even knowing their correct blood type: Luffy's blood type being F (the same as Jinbe's), and Sanji's blood type being S RH- (an unusually rare blood type)).
Techniques
Masui (麻酔, Masui?, literally meaning "Anaesthesia"): Chopper injects a substance, possibly an anesthetic, into the opponent's body making them faint. This was first used on Luffy when he had a hallucination of a tsunami about to hit them while walking to Yuba in the Arabasta Desert, and it was later used in order to stop a group of rampaging giant children on Punk Hazard, with some assistance from the G-5 Marines. In the VIZ manga, this technique is called Sedative. Chopperphage Nebulizer (チョパファージ霧砲（ネブライザー）, Chopafāji Neburaizā?, literally meaning "Chopperphage Mist Cannon"): After developing Chopperphage, a countervirus that nullifies the effects of Queen's Ice Oni virus, Chopper fires it into a crowd with a cannon, releasing a mushroom cloud with his face on it. This allows Chopper's virus to be inhaled by those in the vicinity, curing them from the effects of Ice Oni. The term phage is derived from bacteriophage, a type of virus used to treat bacterial infections via phage therapy. A nebulizer is a device used to administer medication in the form of mist.
Video Game Techniques
Art of Compounding (?): Chopper pulls out a bowl to grind up ingredients to make medicine that can heal his allies. Used by Chopper as his Unique Special Action in One Piece: Burning Blood.
Devil Fruit
Summary
Chopper ate the Hito Hito no Mi, a Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a human and reindeer-human hybrid at will. It also gave him human level intelligence and the ability to speak human language. It also allows him to walk upright on two legs and hold things in his cloven hoof hands. This power is what allowed Chopper to become a doctor and learn about medicine in the first place, which is impossible for a normal reindeer. While Chopper is usually seen in his hybrid form, which is a tanuki-like chibi-creature, he would sometimes transform into his human form to try and fit in with humans, often with minimal success due to his full human form looking more like an apeman. In terms of combat, his full human form is very bulky and strong, and with his humanoid body structure, he can use melee attacks that he cannot use in his true reindeer form, such as punching and kicking.
Rumble Ball
In addition to his three forms granted by his Devil Fruit, Chopper has also invented a yellow jawbreaker-like drug called the "Rumble Ball", through his research. This drug has the power to "distort the wavelengths" of the Devil Fruit's transformation, allowing him access to additional transformations. The effect of the drug only lasts for three minutes. His additional forms are: Jumping Point: Makes his legs long and agile. Guard Point: Turns his fur into a protective ball of fluff. Arm Point: Makes his arms bulky and strong. Horn Point: Grants him large, powerful antlers. Due to the risk of this alteration, the Rumble Ball's consumption must be closely monitored, and for this reason Chopper cannot consume more than one every six hours. If he takes a second one, he would gain the extra transformations, but he would not be able to control which of his seven forms he takes when he transforms. And if a third one is taken, Chopper transforms into a massive, super strong monstrosity, known as Monster Point, which causes him to lose his mind and go berserk. This form also requires lethal amounts of energy to keep active, making Chopper a danger to both himself as well as others, friend and foe alike. After the two-year timeskip, Chopper has developed the ability to access the additional forms at any time and without time limit, without even needing to actually take the Rumble Ball. Furthermore, both his Horn Point and Guard Point have developed considerably; both his Horn Point horns, and his protective Guard Point fluff are much bigger, thicker, and stronger. He has also developed an entirely new transformation known as Kung Fu Point, he is seen being able to perform formidable martial art maneuvers with this new form, melding the advantageous characteristics of Arm Point and Jumping Point. Additionally, he also developed his Monster Point; he now only needs a single Rumble Ball to enter this form, and he can stay in control of himself, allowing him to fight in his most powerful form for three minutes. How he managed to advance his level with the drug is currently unknown. Later with Caesar Clown's help, Chopper was able to lengthen the duration time of the Rumble Ball to thirty minutes, allowing him to extend the usage of Monster Point, though it causes Chopper to revert to an infant-like state once the effects wear off.
Physical Abilities
Summary
As a reindeer, Chopper was naturally born with high levels of cervid speed and agility. After consuming the Hito Hito no Mi, Chopper gained enhanced human physical potential added to his own. He has extreme levels of superhuman endurance, able to withstand powerful attacks from CP9 operative, Kumadori, and even when badly injured, Chopper could force himself to transform into Monster Point and ultimately survived the immense strain, despite his injuries and fatigue that left him unable to move. During the two years he spent in Torino Kingdom, Chopper underwent extensively intense physical training to further increase his natural physical strength in his based form, which resulted in vast improvements of his Zoan Devil Fruit enhanced physical abilities whenever he transforms. His Heavy Point is now powerful enough to counter a hammer strike from a energy steroid enhanced Dosun, as well as holding back a door against a group of rampaging gigantified children. His new Kung Fu Point form possesses the extreme punching strength of Arm Point while retaining the immense agility of Jumping Point. His Brain Point, which is his weakest form, is now strong enough to easily carry two large iron balls while running at full speed to escape from a murderous Charlotte Brûlée as well as block a sword strike from Yatappe from beheading Hyogoro, while his strongest form, Monster Point, is now powerful enough to violently thrash Queen, one of the strongest members of the Beast Pirates who possesses an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit and a bounty of 1,320,000,000, with only a slap while also scarring his allies, including the very physically strong, Marco and X Drake. In addition to the various transformation of his Devil Fruit, Chopper is also a powerful self-taught hand to hand combatant. He is very skilled in boxing and wrestling which he typically combines with the increased physical strength of Heavy Point to defeat numerous enemies with ease. With Kung Fu Point, he can use Kung Fu, which he used to defeat several members of the Ammo Knights, which consist of fish-men who possess ten times the strength of ordinary humans. Due to being a reindeer native to a Winter Island, Chopper can stand on ice without slipping which gives him an advantage in icy environments or on ice generated by Brook's Yomi Yomi no Mi ability as demonstrated when they defended the Thousand Sunny from the Big Mom Pirates.
Other Capabilities
Summary
Chopper's immense medical knowledge of the bipedal anatomy has also proved useful when the Straw Hats were trying to bring down Oars, during which time, Chopper formulated several theories on where it was best to target the colossal adversary and finding the giant's weak spot. And while naïve, he can also be quite a capable strategist, best seen in his fights against the Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas pair and Gedatsu. Chopper has at least some knowledge of carpentry, as he worked on repairing the Thousand Sunny's damage after the escape from Totto Land in Franky's absence.

Tony Tony Chopper/History
Introduction
Past
Summary
Chopper was originally a reindeer born 17 years ago on Drum Island, with the slight oddity of a blue nose, which caused other reindeer, even his parents, to treat him as an outcast (always making him follow the herd from far back). When the young reindeer was nine he ate the Hito Hito no Mi, however, his herd and parents ostracized him (and with the increase in intelligence granted by the fruit, he was now acutely aware of it), and he struck out on his own. Unfortunately for Chopper, his attempts at communicating with the humans on Drum Island proved disastrous, with the villagers mistaking him for a Yeti and shooting at him. He was rescued by the quack Dr. Hiriluk, who named him and took him in as his friend and "assistant". Although his deeds were of dubious medical value, Hiriluk became Chopper's role-model. Hiriluk taught Chopper his philosophy on life (that all diseases could be cured) and his strong faith in the Jolly Roger as a symbol of strength against all odds. The two went from house to house, administering their "cures" in a country where all doctors not sanctioned by King Wapol were banned. A year later, when Hiriluk's health worsened, Chopper was left in the cold again as the old man did not want Chopper to watch him die. Once Chopper found out what had happened, however, he vowed to find a cure for his mentor, his one, and only friend. He soon found the cure he was looking for: an Amiudake, a special kind of mushroom with skull-and-crossbones prominently displayed in the medical book (he was unaware of what that sign meant medically due to Hiriluk's praising of pirates and the Jolly Roger). Remembering what he overheard by some villagers that a "certain" type of mushroom can heal every illness, Chopper steals Hiriluk's favorite medical book to find the miracle mushroom. Chopper's arduous journey was a success, even though he risked his life and suffered many injuries, the worst of which occurred when during his journey into the wilderness, in order to get to the mushroom, which was growing atop a treacherous cliff, he had to cross through the territory of his old herd. Though most of the herd stopped and stared at him with silent scorn, the leader, a vicious older male whose forehead was covered in scars from combat, wanted to kill him for returning after the herd had cast him out. He attacked Chopper in a rage of prejudice and spite, and Chopper was forced to fight back, willing himself to carry on and get the mushroom. Though Chopper knocked the leader aside, the reindeer got up and murderously attacked him from behind. Chopper engaged him in a fierce fight and won, allowing him to claim the Amiudake. However, he barely made it out the fight alive, coming back to Hiriluk very weakened, with a broken left antler, dragging a badly broken left leg, and covered in many bruises and bloodied wounds. Though Chopper made a complete recovery after Hiriluk treated his injuries, and reattaching his snapped antler with a metal brace, it was painful for Hiriluk to see how terribly battered his son had gotten simply for his behalf. Hiriluk, overwhelmed with tears of gratitude, ate the mushroom to show his love and appreciation to Chopper, (despite knowing that it would end his life) but Chopper would later find out from Dr. Kureha that he had given Hiriluk a fatal dose of poison, Chopper calls her a liar but she assured him it was truth and further explained being kind was not enough to save lives; you need actual medical skills and training, or you won't be able to save anybody. Chopper realizing what he had done begins to sob uncontrollably as Kureha pity's the foolish reindeer. But Hiriluk was not to live much longer anyway as Kureha surmises that the quack doctor chose Drum Castle to be his grave; Chopper rushes out the door to castle after hearing this. Declaring that he had a wonderful life (in the 4kids dub he declares he is a doctor) and after thanking Chopper, he committed suicide by blowing himself up outside of Drum Castle with a failed potion (before being killed by the poison, for Chopper's sake). Chopper, who had arrived to try and save him, was so upset over Hiriluk's death that and so angry that Wapol was making fun of it that he went completely berserk and tried to attack him, losing all control and running toward Wapol with a terrifying beastly roar. Dalton, who had heard Hiriluk's last words and realized that the monster he called his son was trying to attack Wapol he then stopped him. He then, with tears in his eyes, told him that he apologized for those who mocked Hiriluk's death but that he could not beat Wapol if he could not beat him. Chopper was brought out of his rage and then began to tear up as well at these kind words. He went to Kureha, waving Hiriluk's Jolly Roger outside her house and sobbing heavily, begging her to teach him and vowing that he would become a great doctor. As for Hiriluk's last wish, Kureha (the last remaining doctor not owned by King Wapol) took Chopper in and taught him "real" medicine for the next 5 years. Chopper worked as hard as he could, in order to become a doctor like his idol, Hiriluk. As Chopper's studies grew, he eventually developed the Rumble Ball which could modify the wavelengths in a Zoan Devil Fruit's transformation abilities, giving him four extra forms. However, during one experiment where he took three Rumble Balls at once, he inadvertently took on an uncontrollable 'monster' form that went on a rampage and nearly wiped out an entire village, though fortunately nobody was killed. Chopper woke up in one of Kureha's hospital beds, bandaged and having no memory of what happened once he had eaten the Rumble Balls. After getting a lecture from Kureha to be more careful and that this form posed a danger to his friends, foes, and even himself, he promised never to unleash his monster form again. Following the Blackbeard Pirates' attack on Drum Island and Wapol and his forces cowardly fleeing, Chopper and Kureha would take up residence in the abandoned Drum Castle, coming down the mountain occasionally to seek out anyone in need of medical attention (although Kureha demanded extravagant payments for her services).
Arabasta Saga
Drum Island Arc
Chopper is first seen following Kureha when she visited Cocoa Weed. She noted inflammation in Tamachibi's limbs and diagnosed a bacterial infection in his bones. With the villagers infuriated by Kureha's exorbitant fee, Chopper prepared to fight them but Kureha told him not to attack. Kureha and Chopper left with the supplies and money back home. Later, a tired Luffy (from having climbed the mountain) would appear, with Nami and Sanji, outside the castle, while he was looking for a doctor. When he was about to fall, Chopper saves him. Then he took them to Kureha to tell her the situation, where the two doctors analyze the situation of the three strangers, and then take them inside, here Chopper seeing that the antibodies are giving some process, informs Kureha commenting that it could be the Kestia. After a while, he approaches Nami with some cut leaves, when she wakes up, scaring him, where Chopper tries to hide, albeit in a bad way. Nami tells him not to try to hide anymore, only making the reindeer scream and causing her to be confused as to what he is. After Kureha tells him to shut up, he runs out of the room, only to return when he was being chased by Luffy and Sanji who wanted to eat him, where he transforms into Heavy Pont and beats them both up, where he runs out of the castle in terror. Upon returning, he listens to the conversation as Luffy proposes to Kureha to join the crew, remembering what Hiriluk told him about the pirates, before running again when Luffy and Sanji saw him. On the way, he arrives at Nami's room, who was going to close her door, where he tells her not to because she still has a fever, starting a conversation between the two, where Chopper can't hide his embarrassment at Nami's thanks. Nami. He finally asks her if they are pirates, which she confirms, where she asks him if he is interested in pirates, to which he worriedly denies. Nami offers him to come with them, so he can be the doctor to take care of her on the ship without having to stay there for three days. Chopper tells her no, asking if she's not afraid of him for being a strange reindeer, to which she says no. Here he is chased again by Sanji and Luffy. When he manages to lose them, he sees them trying to close the front door because of the cold, where he, knowing that there was a nest with some birds, tells them to stop. However, the two do not listen to him, so he transforms into Heavy Point, breaking and throwing a railing towards them, and then explaining the situation. He then walks away in sadness after being called a monster by the two pirates, only to be chased by them again, where this time Luffy proposes that he join his crew. Soon, Chopper smelled the arrival of his old nemesis, Wapol. Chopper and Kureha then head out to confront Wapol, who has come to reclaim his old castle. Here Chopper is amazed at how Luffy attacks Wapol with a springy punch, wondering how he is able to do that. Here Chopper transforms into Heavy Point, deciding to face Wapol and his men to protect Hiriluk's ideals. At that moment, Kuromarimo throws one of his hairballs at Kureha, making Chopper worried, however, Sanji intercepts it with his leg, surprising him. He then sees that Sanji can't get that furball out, so Kuromarimo throws more, where Chopper tries to help him; but, he flees when he finds out from Chess that these spheres are flammable, and he was going to light them. There he decides to face the latter, only to be swallowed by Wapol, but manages to free himself thanks to the help of Luffy and Sanji. When Wapol gets up, devours his two subordinates, turning into his ultimate form, he then fires a cannonball at Hiriluk's Jolly Roger, insulting her. To which Chopper, angry, pounces on him and decides to attack him, but remembers Hiriluk telling him not to hate humans, so he doesn't and tells Wapol to just leave without having to harm him; where the latter shoots Chopper with cannonballs, leaving him injured. There he witnesses how Luffy defends the flag that he wanted to defend so much. Chopper witnesses the dialogue between Luffy and Wapol related to him about the flag, and is surprised how Luffy protected that flag despite not knowing whose it was. Where he remembers Hililuk's words, marveling at Luffy and seeing him as a true pirate. When Luffy goads him to do something about it, he decides to fight Chessmarimo, the fusion of Chess and Kuromarimo. As they taunt him that he has no one in the world, Luffy joins him telling him to fight alongside him, to which the reindeer agrees, saying he will defeat his opponent. Here he takes out a Rumble Ball preparing to fight. Here Chessmarimo shoots two fire arrows at him, but he dodges by transforming into Walk Point, then he transforms into Heavy Point and claims that he is a human reindeer, but Chessmarimo yells that he is the same and that he knows everything about his three mutations, taking out four big hammers, attacking him with one, but Chopper dodges it. He then descends on the opponent transforming into Guard Point, whereupon he absorbs a blow from a hammer. The opponent is amazed, but he says he doesn't care, asking him if he thinks he can beat him just by changing his appearance. Therefore, he attacks him with his hammer, but Chopper changes shape again and destroys one of his weapons easily, where he explains the transformations. Chessmarimo then attacks him with another of his hammers, so Chopper fights back with Arm Point, destroying the weapon in the process. Chessmarimo, already irritated, wants to use his Dobikkuri Marimo, Quatro Axe to finish him off, where he is wounded in the arm. His fight continues where Chopper constantly dodges his attacks, while he was looking for his weak spot. When he finally manages to locate him, he uses Jumping Point and stands in front of him to defeat him with Kokutei Roseo. After that, he watches as Luffy defeats Wapol, sends him away, and saves the kingdom of Drum. However, he sees some people approaching so he tries to hide behind a tree, here he is recognized by Dalton. Right there he was seen by some of the townspeople, who see him and point their weapons at him, but he is defended by Dalton, only to run away when Usopp calls him a monster, whereupon he is chased by Luffy. When it's night, he still hears Luffy tell him to come with him, where Chopper thinks he would like it, but he can't leave. Then he approaches the Straw Hats, who were all gathered there, to tell them that he couldn't join them since he's a totally weird reindeer being like a monster and that even if he wanted to join them, he couldn't since he doesn't consider himself a human but a monster. He finally thanks them and that they can go back, to which Luffy tells him to shut up and come with them, to which Chopper finally agrees. Soon after, he arrives at Kureha in the infirmary to inform her of his decision to become a pirate and that he wants to leave with Luffy's crew. Kureha yells at him not to be silly, as he can't leave her alone, plus there's no way a reindeer could venture into the sea and it would just end up dead, to which Chopper yells that he doesn't care. Despite that, Kureha still refuses to let him go, so she starts chasing him, throwing many knives at him. Leaving the castle he transforms into Walk Point and hitches onto Kureha's sleigh. Kureha yells at him as he leaves the castle that he is following a crazy fantasy as Hiriluk. Chopper believes that she is wrong because Hiriluk completed his investigation before he died. She then calls the Straw Hats and tells them to come up, whereupon they all go up, while he transports them up the cable car. Despite what she had said, she is beginning to doubt whether Hiriluk's investigation was a success or not. Chopper was given a send-off of gigantic proportions: Kureha had turned the snow into sakura blossoms, the very same that Hiriluk had researched over 30 years that would one day, cure the people of Drum of their "sickness of the heart," where Chopper starts crying. Arriving at the crew ship, where the crew celebrates their entry. As Vivi tries to warm Karoo up, the latter tries to explain what happened, so Chopper translates what the duck says, surprising Vivi that he can understand animal language. At the end he toasts along with the others for his admission to the crew, preparing to live adventures.
Arabasta Arc
The crew saw a Sea Cat as they neared Arabasta. Starving for food, they try to capture it but Vivi stopped them since it was considered a sacred animal. As they pass through a steam of water from an underwater volcano, Luffy and Usopp caught an okama while fishing. As they waited for his crew to catch up, he entertains them with his Devil Fruit ability to copy other people's appearances, one of which was Vivi's father. When the man's crew caught up, he was revealed to be Mr. 2 Bon Kurei of Baroque Works. Knowing his abilities, they made an 'X' mark on their left arms to know when he was posing as one of them. The crew landed in Nanohana where they encountered Smoker and Tashigi. A powerful pirate named Portgas D. Ace appears, and is revealed to be Luffy's older brother. Ace fights Smoker while the Straw Hats run for their ship. Ace catches up to them and gave Luffy a Vivre Card before departing. They docked their ship near the once 'green city' of Erumalu where they see the extent of the country's suffering as Vivi explained how Baroque Works was using Dance Powder to cause it. After tackling some of the dangers in the desert, they reach Yuba where they meet Toto, a friend of the royal family. They find out that the Rebel Army has moved out of Yuba and headed to Katorea, and the rebel leader Koza, Toto's son and Vivi's childhood friend, is determined to attack. The crew travels to the city of Rainbase to take down Crocodile and Baroque Works, but run afoul of Smoker and Tashigi. Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Smoker are trapped by Crocodile. Chopper distracts Crocodile while Sanji frees the rest of the crew, but find themselves trapped yet again. After escaping from Rain Dinners, Usopp and the crew together with Vivi crossed the desert to Alubarna, where the final battle will take place. Crocodile, however, managed to catch Luffy, beginning the first round of their battle. The crew, excluding Luffy, proceeded to Alubarna. As they reached their destination, they split up to distract the Baroque Works agents to engage their battle separately. At first Chopper was paired with Sanji when the two were pursued by Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas, until Sanji left to check up on Usopp and Chopper had to fight by himself for a short while until Usopp came to assist him. The battle of Usopp and Chopper vs. the Mr. 4 team then begins. Things looked hopeless for Usopp and Chopper as they continued to suffer from every attack that the Mr. 4 team made. When Miss Merry Christmas told them that Luffy is dead, Usopp refused to believe it, claiming that Luffy will become the next Pirate King. When she laughed at this, Usopp told Chopper that a real man never lets his friend's dreams be laughed at and must fight for it no matter what. Albeit severely beaten and bruised, Usopp and Chopper finally defeated the Mr. 4 team. Later, the Straw Hats hurried to locate the bomb before it went off. Vivi figured out where the bomb was, and had Usopp call the Straw Hats together with a flare. She found it inside of the clock tower, but the Mr. 7 pair of Baroque Works were there. Vivi defeats them but realized the bomb couldn't be stopped so easily. It had a timer, and right before it blew up, Pell showed up and took it into the atmosphere, where he sacrificed himself to save Alubarna. The Rebel and Royal armies continued to fight even after the bomb went off. It isn't until it rained and Crocodile was revealed to be one behind the drought that they stopped. Tashigi and Smoker both are rewarded for taking on Crocodile, but neither one of them believed it was right since the Straw Hat pirates did all the work. Luffy rescued Nico Robin and Cobra from the collapsing tomb where he fought and defeated Crocodile. He was then brought to the palace to rest. When he awakened, a banquet is thrown for the pirates. They were then invited to enjoy the hot spring steam-room inside the palace. Later that night, Mr. 2 Bon Kurei contacts them, telling them he prevented their ship from being taken by the Marines. The next day, the day of her speech, Vivi was to make a decision on whether or not she will stay with the crew. Meanwhile, Bon Kurei and his crew helped the Straw Hats escape from Hina so they could get to Vivi, who declined joining them for the sake of her country. Regardless, they all showed their 'X' mark to signify that they will still consider her as one of them. After escaping from the Marines, Robin (Ms. All Sunday) appeared from inside of the Straw Hats ship. She managed to persuade the crew to let her join since she has nowhere else to go.
Sky Island Saga
Jaya Arc
Nami's Log Pose began to point to the sky, after that, a big ship fell from sky and the crew found a map in of an island named "Skypiea" on a 200-year-old ship. They competed with the monkey-like Masira's salvage crew while they searched for more clues on how to get there. The Straw Hats decided to go to Jaya island to look for information on Skypiea. The Straw Hats met with Mont Blanc Cricket on another part of Jaya; Cricket is a descendant of Mont Blanc Noland, an infamous "liar" who told of a gold city on Jaya, and Cricket was cast out for looking for artifacts of the gold city. He might have be the only person who knows how to get to Skypiea. Cricket explained how the Straw Hats can ride a dangerous vertical current called the Knock Up Stream to get to Skypiea. However, they first had to catch a South Bird to point them toward the point where the stream will erupt from the ocean. While the Straw Hats were looking for a South Bird, Bellamy and his crew attacked Cricket's house, and stole the gold artifacts he'd collected over the years from his salvage work. When the Straw Hats returned and see what happened, Luffy decided to take a side trip back to Mock Town. The Going Merry is refitted by Masira and Shoujou to be more flight capable, and the Straw Hats catch a ride on the Knock Up Stream for Skypiea.
Skypiea Arc
They started from entering the Gate of Heaven. First they had been recommended by an old woman to pay their extol, but they didn't have to pay the old woman and she let them pass. As they were carried by a sky shrimp, they landed on a place that's surrounded by clouds. There they met Conis, a Skypiean. As their conversation about the waver continued, the White Berets interrupted them and labeled them as a criminal of illegal entrants. As Chopper along with Zoro, Nami, and Robin boarded the ship, the shrimp suddenly carried them, they tried to escape, but that was impossible because of the skyfish behind them. The shrimp left them in the Sacrificial Altar. Zoro, Nami, and Robin explored the land and left Chopper to guard the ship. As he guarded the ship Shura, one of the priests suddenly appeared to eliminate him. He fought Shura with his ability but found himself no match for the priest. He whistled the whistle to call Gan Fall. As Gan Fall appeared, he fought Shura but in the end, Gan Fall is defeated. Gan Fall fell into the water surrounding the altar and Chopper jumped in to save him but failed due to him not being able to swim. Both Gan Fall and Chopper were saved from drowning by the giant South Birds. Chopper is then told by the birds that Gan Fall is the former god. As the crew reunited, he is seen healing Gan Fall. They spent a night on the ship to regain more energy. The next morning, Chopper explored the island together with Luffy, Zoro, and Robin to search for the gold, but a giant python named Nola attacked them, causing the group to split up. After finding himself all alone, Chopper was caught in the cross fire between Enel's enforcers and Shandia. Chopper eventually found himself on the Ordeal of Swamp where Gedatsu, one of the priests was. He mustered up his strength and defeated Gedatsu. Confident on being on his own, Chopper proceeded to the Upper Yard, but he encounters Ohm, who defeated him. He later regained consciousness when Luffy finally rang the bell. Later he was seen joining in the celebration. The next day, the crew has collected a large amount of gold from Nola´s body when a group of Skypieans arrive with Robin bringing a large gold post, but the rest of the Straw Hats mistake it for a large cannon and they start running to their ship. They manage to return to the Blue Sea with the help of Pagaya and Conis.
Water 7 Saga
Long Ring Long Land Arc
Chopper and company came across a mysterious pirate ship after trying to escape a giant wave. Soon, they arrived on an island inhabited by strange animals. The Going Merry was captured by the Foxy Pirates. After Tonjit re-united with his horse, they were attacked by Captain Foxy and his subordinates, who challenged Luffy in a Davy Back Fight, a contest of pirates where the stakes are members of the crew. The first round of Davy Back Fight involved a race around the island with tiny boats. In the anime, Chopper was teamed up with Zoro, and their boat was eliminated immediately. With only Luffy, Nami, and Porche's boat remaining, it was an all out war to the goal, but after Foxy exposed his Devil Fruit powers, Porche won and took Tony Tony Chopper from the crew. When Foxy decided to take Chopper after the first round, the "Donut Race," Chopper cried, saying that he only went out to sea because he knew that his crew would be the Straw Hats. Zoro lectured Chopper, telling him that he must be a man and that he is responsible for becoming a pirate. Then the contest began with the second round. Without Chopper, Sanji and Zoro had to face the Foxy Pirates in a ball game, but were hampered by their blatant cheating and the crooked referee. The bickering rivals Sanji and Zoro managed to overcome the opposing team by working together. Luffy takes Chopper back. (In the anime, Luffy chose Shelly instead of Chopper.) Luffy and Foxy faced off in the final game: a battle of brawn aboard Foxy's ship. The Straw Hat pirates watched from the side as Luffy continued to battle Foxy with the odds not in his favor, and the fight continued inside Foxy's ship. They had not seen the battle when they fight inside the ship. Luffy managed to finally defeat Foxy by using his own ability against him. After the Davy Back fight, the Straw Hats met Aokiji, one of the three Marine Admirals. Aokiji helped out Tonjit by freezing a path to the next island. After Tonjit left, Aokiji explained to the Straw Hats some things about Robin's past, such as how each organization she had been with were completely destroyed with Robin being the sole survivor. A confrontation ensued and Aokiji froze Robin. Usopp grabbed the frozen Robin and ran back to the Merry along with Nami and Chopper to unfreeze her. After the ordeal with Aokiji, the Straw Hats continued with their journey in search for a Shipwright.
Water 7 Arc
After the Going Merry narrowly escaped being hit by a "sea train," the crew met an old woman, Kokoro, and her granddaughter, Chimney. Kokoro gave Luffy a map to Water 7. When they arrived there, Chopper had lost Robin when they were out shopping. Chopper, along Luffy, Sanji and Zoro followed Usopp's bloody trail to the Franky House where they found him passed out in front of the building. The four of them challenged the Franky Family only to find out that their real target, Franky himself, was gone and had taken the money with him. After an argument between Luffy and Usopp broke down into a fight, ending with Usopp being greatly wounded by Luffy, Chopper attempted to go to his aid. Sanji tried to stop him, though, saying that Usopp asked for the duel, and getting healed by Chopper would only bring him shame. Despite Sanji's request, Chopper went to Usopp, leaving behind medical supplies as he tearfully ran back to ship. The Straw Hats got themselves a hotel room. An incredibly high tide called the "Aqua Laguna" was coming and Chopper and Sanji rushed to warn Usopp. While the crew hid from angry residents, Sanji and Chopper discovered Robin and she told them what they've feared: she's responsible for Iceburg's assassination attempt and she wanted to part ways. Chopper reunited with the others without Sanji and they discussed what had happened. Luffy decided that in order to know the full truth, they had to catch Robin. The Straw Hat Pirates and Paulie broke into the room where they found Iceburg and CP9. Luffy and the others requested that Robin comes back to the crew. She refused and told them that she cannot accomplish her "wish" if she were to stay with them. Robin turned to leave and CP9 tried to hold the pirates back. Robin successfully escaped and Lucci showed the remaining his "transformation," a result of his Devil Fruit. He quickly disposed of the crew and CP9 tied up Paulie and Iceburg, leaving them alone as the building burned down around them. Chopper escaped the burning building with Paulie and Iceburg on his back and collapses outside. Nami rushed to tell Chopper so they can could look for the rest of the crew. Chopper found Zoro and handed him the Sandai Kitetsu so that he could can escape the chimney he got stuck in. Seeing how determined Luffy was to save Robin, Kokoro and Iceburg lend the Straw Hat crew the use of another sea train, Rocketman. The Franky Family showed up, pleading to Luffy to let them join them because they'd do anything for their leader. The Rocketman finally made it out to sea. Paulie told his fellow carpenters who the real culprits were. The Straw Hats, Franky Family, and Galley-La Company then formed an alliance. They miraculously passed through Aqua Laguna unscathed and the passengers rejoiced. Sanji contacted the rest of the crew and filled them in on his current situation. Back in the Rocketman, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Chopper changed their outfits. Those on the Rocketman encountered the discarded train carts and Zoro sliced them so they can pass. Zoro also clashed with "Ship Cutter" T Bone. The fight was short and Zoro joined the crew again in the Rocketman. Yokozuna the frog jumped onto the front of the train, knocking them from the rails. After Kokoro spoke with him, he joined the group. Luffy and the others finally caught up to Sanji, Usopp (currently disguised as Sogeking), and the rest of the Franky Family as they neared Enies Lobby. Paulie sat down with the group to talk about their plan. Luffy didn't bother to follow the plan, and proceeded to slingshot himself beyond the gates before the train stops.
Enies Lobby Arc
As they proceeded to Enies Lobby, Chopper and crew managed to land on Oimo's back. They rode Sodom and Gommorah to reach the Courthouse. As they waited for the bridge to be activated, the Straw Hat´s lined up at the roof to convince Robin to accept their request saving her. When the bridge was not fully lowered, Kokoro helped by using the Rocketman. The train used the half lowered bridge as a ramp. Luffy his crew down as he jumped onto it. After they crash-landed, Fukurou appeared and declared that a key is needed to unlock Robin's cuff. The crew decided to individually search for and fight an agent, leaving Luffy to handle Lucci whom Fukurou said was taking Robin to the Gates of Justice. Later, searching for agent, Chopper found Zoro and Sogeking being chased by Kaku and Jabra cuffed each other. He was sent to search for the number 2 key from the other agents. He switched with Nami to fight Kumadori. However, he took the Rumble Ball too soon was unable to defeat the CP9 assassin before its effects wore off. His fight with Kumadori was then taken into the kitchen where Franky was battling Fukurou. Chopper managed to stall the fight by locking Kumadori in the refrigerator. When Franky asked him to get him some cola so he could beat Fukurou, Chopper hesitated due to his earlier experience with Franky, but eventually decided to help since they were currently on the same side. After accidentally giving him vegetable juice, then tea, Chopper got the cola Franky needed and watched him blow Fukurou through the wall with a single punch. After watching Franky defeat Fukurou, Chopper found himself fighting Kumadori again after the latter broke out of the refrigerator. His three basic forms unable to hurt the agent, Chopper thought about taking another Rumble Ball in desperation, but knew that by eating a second Rumble Ball right after the first, it would cause side effects that took away his control over his forms. He eventually gave in and ate the second Rumble Ball, risking the unwanted of shuffling through the wrong forms just so he could access the immense fighting strength of Arm Point, despite the possibility that his erratic transformations would keep him from entering that form before the three-minute effects of the Rumble Ball were used up. As his transformations did not work properly, he was initially beaten by his opponent, and upon finally transforming into the form he wanted right before the Rumble Ball wore off, his strongest attack in Arm Point only served to make Kumadori angry. Pinned down, helpless, and about to be delivered a mortal blow by Kumadori, Chopper had no options left but to eat one more Rumble Ball and access his forbidden form. After recalling the last time he took three Rumble Balls, he mentally apologized to Dr. Kurhea for being unable to keep his word. Hoping none of his friends would cross his path, he took a third Rumble Ball and took on his Monster Point. In this form, Chopper quickly overwhelmed and even terrified Kumadori, brutally attacking him until he was knocked out. Despite defeating Kumadori, he continued to go on a violent rampage, beating up Kumadori even further and then tearing his way out of the judicial tower with Kumadori in his right hand, who he threw far away into the crowd of World Government and Marines at Enies Lobby, who were shocked to see a top CP9 agent land before them in a bloody pulp. Chopper started scaling the tower and destroying many of its upper rooms, disrupting several fights going on with the rest of the crew and CP9 agents, who were all alarmed at his monstrous form. When Chopper threatened to cause harm to the crew, Franky was forced to shoot him with his Coup de Vent technique, which sent Chopper soaring into the sea in order to stop his Monster Point's violent rampaging and to change him back to normal by forcefully disabling his Devil Fruit powers with their one weakness. Chopper reverted back to his humanoid reindeer form, but did not regain consciousness, and Franky had to retrieve him from the water. He was later carried away by Kokoro, along with most of the crew, as she swam out of a flooded underground passage in the Bridge of Hesitation while making an escape. Being dragged underwater while out cold, he inhaled too much water and choked in his sleep. When he woke up, he and his crew mates had been saved by Kokoro from drowning, who turned out to be a mermaid. As his crew mates defended their get away ship, he could not move his body because of the side effect of the overuse of the Rumble Ball. With the help of the Going Merry, everyone managed to escape Enies Lobby safely. However, after escaping, Iceburg arrived in a Galley-La company ship in time to pick up the Straw Hat Pirates as the Merry suddenly broke apart. Luffy then gave the Going Merry a viking funeral by burning the ship as the crew tearfully said goodbye. Two weeks after the events of Enies Lobby, Chopper received his first bounty of 50, he was given a low bounty because he was perceived to be the "pet" of the Straw Hats. Chopper was shocked and disappointed that his bounty is so small, since he believed he fought like a man. When Monkey D. Garp attacked and Usopp tried to rejoin, Chopper was the only one who did not deny his attention. After Usopp apologized for his stubbornness, he was happily accepted back into the crew, and they all sailed off on their new ship to next adventure.
Thriller Bark Saga
Thriller Bark Arc
After sailing for some time on the Thousand Sunny, Chopper and the rest of the crew came across a mysterious barrel floating on the ocean. Upon opening it, a flash shot up from it. After braving a storm that mysteriously came afterwards thanks to Nami and Franky, Chopper and the rest of the crew found themselves in the presence of a ghost ship. This ship apparently belonged to a skeleton named Brook who initially accepted Luffy's offer to join the crew. Chopper along with Usopp were exceptionally afraid of the skeleton. Just as Brook was about to perform before Usopp and the rest of the crew after dinner, a ghost appeared, and a clanking noise was heard. These sounds were caused by the gates of the island that suddenly appeared, Thriller Bark, closing. This prompted Brook to head to the island before Chopper and the rest of the Straw Hats' eyes. With Luffy's resolve to go to the island, to which Chopper could not do anything. With Usopp and Nami, he set out in the new 'mini-merry' ship to explore Thriller Bark. There, the three met the Cerberus, which chased them until they hid in a tree. Here the three met Hildon who decided to take them to met Dr. Hogback. This pleased Chopper as the doctor was renowned in the medical world. After riding a carriage with Hildon through some woods filled with all sorts of stitched-up creatures, Chopper and his companions were left in the middle of a cemetery. There, they were attacked by some Zombies, and escaped into Hogback's mansion and met with the good doctor and his maid, Victoria Cindry. Over dinner, Chopper asked for the doctor's autograph and a chance to visit his laboratory. The former request was given to Chopper but the latter was not. After dinner with the good doctor in which the three asked about Brook, Nami decided to take a bath. For this, Chopper and Usopp were put in charge of guarding her from intruders from the outside. In the middle of the bath however, Nami was attacked by an invisible thing. Luckily, Usopp and Chopper came in the bathroom and drove it away. Later after the incident in the bathroom, Chopper and his companions found out that the paintings and taxidermy in the dining room were all Zombies. Fortunately, the three escaped through a secret door before the Zombies could catch them. Beyond the secret door, Chopper and his companions found themselves in a room filled with Cindry's pictures. Through a newspaper article that Nami found, the three learned that Cindry was an actress that died ten years ago. As they were about to leave, the three stumbled across a treasure chest. Inside however, was a horrific Jack in a box that frightened the three out of the room. As the three were running through the hallways of the mansion from more painting Zombies, a mysterious bodyguard decided to chase them. Eventually, Chopper along with Usopp and Nami hid inside the stuffed body of Kumashi to overhear Moria's plan for creating Oars, the strongest zombie. Eventually the trio were discovered and made a run for it, but were surrounded and attacked by a large group of Zombies. During the battle, Nami was captured by Absalom. Franky and Robin arrived just in time to finish off the zombies. After that the crew made its way back to the Thousand Sunny where they found Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji. After explaining the situation to them, Luffy ordered the Straw Hats to prepare for a counterattack on Thriller Bark. When Robin and Chopper attacked Hogback in his laboratory, they found him protected by Jigoro, Inuppe, and Cindry. Chopper and Robin fought them, but were eventually forced into submission. Chopper announced his disgust and defiance by declaring Hogback was no longer a doctor to him. He explained that when Hogback told him he was using the zombies to investigate the difference between life and death, he admired him because he could help those who lost loved ones when death occurred, but when he found out his role in the zombies' resurrection, he was disgusted that he would go as far as to use them for personal benefit instead medical science, and is forcefully moving them despite their hearts not beating, making them puppets. This, Chopper explained is why he cannot accept the zombies as living creatures, and Hogback as a doctor. Hogback laughed and insulted Chopper's ideals, declaring he brought new life to the zombies and they should be grateful for "reviving" them. He demonstrated their proof of being "alive" by kicking Cindry in the face and ordering her to lick the ground. He explained that the room that Chopper went into earlier was his room, and told him how he disappeared, and the truth behind Victoria Cindry and her death. He explained that because of his medical genius, many flocked to him with the hopes he could help them or their loved ones. Eventually, he could not be bothered with that, and explained it was only for the money. Then, a beautiful and famous entertainer named Victoria Cindry became one of Hogback's patients. Hogback, like many other men, was smitten by her beauty and fell in love with her, but she told him she was already engaged. However, it was nothing compared to his eventual heartbreak when he found out Cindry lost her life when she fell from a stage. A depressed Hogback left his job and disappeared from public knowledge, but was discovered by Moria and became in his servitude in the promise that Cindry be brought to life. Eventually, he stole Cindry's corpse and with medical surgery and Gecko Moria's Kage Kage no Mi ability, Cindry was brought back to life as a Zombie. Hogback declared although Cindry had a different personality, he cared only for her beauty and said she is and should be thankful for her resurrection, and thus ordered her to attack Chopper. While Chopper refused to attack her, and merely restraining her, as she continued to assault him. Chopper pleaded to Cindry to stop and look at what she's become. While she calms down, Chopper asks to Robin to use her powers and feed her salt. However, she was prevented from doing so by Jigoro and Inuppe under Hogback's orders. Later, it soon became apparent that the two zombies could not get along and began to fight each other, just like Zoro and Sanji so Robin took advantage of Hogback's orders by forcefully closing his mouth, asking him to order herself and Chopper to "jump off the tower." When Robin released Hogback, he indeed did give this order, but it was mistakenly given to Jigoro and Inuppe and they followed suit. Chopper decided to pummel Hogback, as the mad scientist desperately gave orders to Cindry to buy him time, but she miraculously started crying, and said she could not move. Just as the battle was turning in the Straw Hats' favor, with Chopper with Robin's help about to deliver the final move on Hogback, Oars demolished the wall and interrupted the fight. As Hogback pleaded for Cindry's help, she simply smiled, implying her soul temporarily returned to her, and leaves him and herself to their fate. Oars' rampage apparently lead him to crush both Hogback and Cindry. Chopper joined the crew's battle against Oars, and although the battle was completely drastic, it became increasingly desperate when Moria used his ability to manipulate Oars' body, giving him an ability to stretch like his counterpart, Luffy. Despite to Oars' immunity to pain, Chopper discover that his weak spot is his right arm. It was discovered that Oars suffered a severe case of frostbite, due to wandering the Land of Ice with very little clothes on. Chopper, Sanji, and Zoro continued their attacks towards Oars' right arm, taking advantage of Oars' inability to feel pain, and giving his right arm considerable damage (though not initially noticed by Oars); however, Chopper and Sanji were knocked out for these efforts. With the Straw Hats falling one by one, Luffy returned to save Nami and Usopp and with 100 shadows in him, Luffy strength had multiplied several times over becoming "Nightmare Luffy" and began pummeling the zombie giant, beating him severely, with Moria himself caught in the attack, before powering down. Down, but far from out, Oars got up to do battle again. Fortunately, Nightmare Luffy's attack was more than enough time for the Straw Hats to recover. Luffy himself surprisingly got up despite having the exhausting process of 100 shadows in his body for ten minutes. Chopper concocted a plan to force Oars' back straightened to take the full force of Luffy's attack. With his arm broken, Oars could not counter as Luffy activates Gear 3 smashing a Gomu Gomu no Gigant Bazooka to his face, breaking Oars' back. However, Moria returned to consciousness, and used his ultimate technique Shadows Asgard, taking in all shadows in Thriller Bark, numbering to 1000 to finish off the Straw Hats once and for all. However, as Chopper witnessed, Luffy activated both Gear 2 and Gear 3 at the same time, and finally defeated Gecko Moria, releasing all the shadows. Nami then remembered Kuma is on this island and tells everyone. Meanwhile, Kuma reported that Moria had failed to kill Luffy and is badly wounded, he was ordered to kill everyone on Thriller Bark and evacuate the wounded Moria. However, instead of outright killing everyone as his orders said he offered everyone a deal- let him kill Luffy (who cannot fight back now) and he would leave everyone alone. The Straw Hats and everyone else on the island told Kuma "no way" and he set off a bomb made out of air that knocked everybody unconscious. However, before he could finish off Luffy, Zoro rose again and vowed he will not let Kuma touch him, Kuma offered to just kill Zoro then and attacks him, though Zoro survived. Zoro offered his head for Luffy's and Kuma decided to torture Zoro by giving him all the pain and suffering Luffy had endured during the battle. Kuma then left, praising Luffy for having such good friends. Soon after, Chopper joined everyone in a celebratory party at Thriller Bark (save for Zoro, who was still recovering from his wounds) lead by Brook and his piano. Luffy finally revealed to Brook that he is friends with Brook's friend, Laboon. Brook stopped partying, cried, and revealed a Tone Dial which contained the last song the Rumbar Pirates ever performed together on it. Brook stated that since he has found new friends in Luffy and the others, he no longer needed the Dial and would give it to Laboon the next time they meet. Brook then asked if the Straw Hat crew invite is still good and Luffy says it is, Chopper joins the others in a shocked response. Once he and the rest of the crew finally left Thriller Bark, they held a toast to Brook, their new crewmate.
Summit War Saga
Sabaody Archipelago Arc
After leaving Thriller Bark, Chopper assisted the other Straw Hats on their continued journey. He helped with the battle against Flying Fish Riders alongside the crew. Afterwards, he arrived in the Sabaody Archipelago, where he joined in the initial group heading out on the island. He was treated to cotton candy by barmaid Shakuyaku and eventually dozed off alongside Brook after trying and failing to find the assisting Camie. Usopp later found him and Brook and was berated for relaxing instead of looking for Camie, and they were quickly taken aboard a Flying Fish with the Rosy Life Riders. After they entered the Human Auctioning House, Camie had already been sold to World Noble Saint Charlos in an extravagant bid of 500,000,000. However, Luffy's Flying Fish burst in, and he quickly got off to rescue Camie. In former enemy Hatchan's attempt to restrain him, he inadvertently revealed he is a fish-man and was shot by Charlos Sei. An enraged Luffy responded by punching him in the face, and started an incident attracting several Marines to the Human Auctioning House. Luffy, along with his and the crews of two of the Eleven Supernovas, Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law cleared the incoming masses of Marines, Chopper assisted them in battle, until he as well as the rest of the Straw Hats with the help of Duval's Rosy Life Riders, managed to escape. Chopper heard Rayleigh's story with the others, but shortly after leaving, he and the others were confronted by a Pacifista. Chopper's Kokutei Roseo Metel attack did very little damage to the weapon's defenses, but the group managed to defeat it by combining their efforts. Unfortunately, they were soon confronted by a second Pacifista and Sentomaru, Dr. Vegapunk's bodyguard. Luffy ordered the crew to split up, and Chopper went with Luffy and Robin. Sentomaru intercepted Luffy and managed to wound him with unarmed attacks despite his rubber body. Seeing his companions defeated, Chopper became desperate and used three Rumble Balls at once, although he had already used one against the marines outside the Human Auctioning House and another against the Pacifista, it transformed him into Monster Point. Monster Chopper then began attacking Sentomaru as Robin fled with Luffy. He turned his attention to Kuma who just had appeared and was vanished as a result.
Straw Hat Separation Adventure Torino Kingdom
Chopper landed in the Torino Kingdom, in the South Blue, where the natives wanted to cook him. As seen in the Straw Hat separation serial, Chopper was running for his life to avoid getting eaten. At some point, he managed to hide while the natives were fighting the giant birds on the island.
Postwar Arc
After some time on the island, Chopper managed to stop the war between the humans and birds, using his ability to talk to animals to translate for the natives. Afterwards, he left the island worried and wanting to heal Luffy's wounds after learning of his involvement in the war and Ace's death. He flew off the island on one of the birds, though at the same time a News Ku passed by, and after reading the paper Chopper was shocked by a recent article involving Luffy. He stated that he understood why Luffy was praying at Marineford, and afterwards, he returned to the Torino Kingdom to become stronger. Since Chopper is uncomfortable with returning to the island sooner than expected, he wore a disguise called "Chopper Mask". However, the natives instantly recognized Chopper and the reindeer then threw away the disguise. Chopper said that he wants to study the plants on the island and a native took him to the village library where he could do his research. Chopper then commented that the natives are not as primitive as he originally thought as he recalls them using mechanical weapons. Chopper then thought back to his early days, where he was called a monster and shunned by everyone. He realized that ever since he joined Luffy's crew, it did not matter what other people called him, and he promised to help Luffy no matter what. The story continues two years later.

Introduction
Fishman Island Saga
Return To Sabaody Arc
After two years, Chopper returned to Sabaody Archipelago. He was following Fake Zoro, Fake Sanji, Fake Robin, and his own counterpart, believing them (excluding Fake Chopper) to be the real ones. After Fake Robin tried to lure Chopper to them with a cucumber, Chopper then witnessed the fake Robin getting kidnapped by some mysterious men. Later when he saw the Fake Straw Hat Crew, he was disappointed in his "captain" because they were not going to save "Robin", and he left crying and saying that he would save her himself. While searching for "Robin", Chopper ran into Usopp and Nami, who were very happy to see him. After he was informed that the Straw Hats he encountered were fakes, he returned to the Thousand Sunny with Usopp and Nami. Franky then amazed Chopper and Usopp with his new upgrades. Chopper got excited wondering what Franky's new weapons are. He was pleasantly surprised when he heard from Rayleigh that Luffy was already in the archipelago. After arriving at Grove #42, Chopper departed atop one of his enormous bird friends from Torino Kingdom to bring Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji back to the Thousand Sunny. With the assistance of the Straw Hats' new allies, Chopper and the rest of the crew descended into the ocean with their coated ship, finally resuming their adventure after two years.
Fishman Island Arc
Undersea Voyage
While sailing under the ocean, Chopper and the crew marveled at the site of the underwater world. He and Usopp also had to keep Luffy and Zoro from doing anything that might endanger the crew. He attended to Sanji after he received a massive nosebleed. Chopper along with the rest of the crew decided to have lunch, while Franky explained how their ship was in one piece after two years thanks to Bartholomew Kuma. As the ship descended even deeper, the crew marveled at how dark it had become. With their seacow, the Caribou Pirates soon caught up with the Straw Hats and prepared for battle. Caribou jumped onto the Thousand Sunny, but before his crew could follow, Momoo fled in fear from seeing Nami, Sanji and Luffy, leaving Caribou behind. The Straw Hats then tied up Caribou as he begged for mercy. He claimed that he was an unfortunate victim and not a pirate, and Chopper believed him until Usopp pointed out that he was lying. Chopper then attended to Sanji as he experienced another massive nosebleed, suggesting that they try to rehabilitate Sanji. He listened as Nami, with the help of Brook, Franky, and Robin, explained about the Sea Currents, but quickly lost interest when Nami started talking about how salinity affected them. He reacted with shock when he saw the Kraken. He then screamed in terror when he witnessed the Kraken destroying Caribou's ship. Even though the Monster Trio left the ship using Flutter Kick Coating to fight the Kraken, the sea monster aimed for the Thousand Sunny. Franky used his rocket launcher to repel one of the tentacles which amazed Chopper, Usopp, and Luffy. Chopper then blocked another tentacle with his new and improved Guard Point. When Luffy hit the Kraken with Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun, Chopper spotted a shark freed. Because they were not wearing life-lines, the Monster Trio got separated from the rest of the Straw Hats as the ship went down the underwater current. When the crew reached the "Underworld of the Sea", Chopper immediately started to look for the missing Monster Trio along with Usopp and Brook. He then noticed the gargantuan size of a school of jellyfish that were floating around the ship. One of the jellyfish put one of its tentacles through the bubble coating. Chopper reached out to touch it but Robin stopped him, saying it was probably poisonous, much to Chopper's stunned surprise. When an even larger fish ate the jellyfish that he almost touched, it died as a result, confirming to Chopper that Robin's theory about the jellyfish probably being poisonous was correct. The reindeer commented on how scary and dark the Deep Sea is and how the fish in it cannot see too well. When the crew realized Caribou was gone, Chopper thought one explanation was that he was thrown overboard while going through the downward current. Chopper was scared when Nami suggested that Caribou might still be hiding on the ship. After Franky trapped Caribou in the barrel, Chopper was the first to notice a sudden rise in temperature. He then moaned about how hot it is, saying he could not go on living this way, and how after waiting two years to see Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, they disappeared. When the ship was about to be eaten by a gigantic angler fish, Chopper foamed at the mouth in shock. When Wadatsumi and the Flying Dutchman appeared, Chopper started to cry from sheer terror. He and Usopp were shocked by Brook's frightened reaction to the ghost ship. He was shocked to see Surume suddenly show up and knock out Wadatsumi, and overjoyed that the Monster Trio came back safely. When they were on board, Chopper tackled Luffy, telling him how scared he was. When the underwater volcano started to erupt, Chopper panicked and was thrown back by the rest of the crew. Chopper exclaimed how hot it was when Nami said the water temperature was rising. When Sanji suffered a nosebleed while talking to Nami, Chopper remarked that it was a bad time to have a guilty conscience. When the crew reached the trench, Chopper noticed how the water was making steam from the heat. When the rocks fell into the trench, he marveled at Usopp's new attack. When a stray rock hit Surume, Chopper fell with the rest of the crew to the bottom of the sea. Upon finally reaching Fish-Man Island, Sanji suffered another nosebleed thinking about mermaids. Chopper told him that it would be best if he did not see any actual mermaids, as doing so could kill him. He was impressed with Sanji's fiery resolve to die while seeing mermaids. When Hammond approached with his group of Sea Beasts, Chopper is shocked by their gargantuan size. Hammond gave the crew two options: join the New Fish-Man Pirates or die. Chopper and the rest of the crew then prepared to enter Fish-Man Island with a Coup de Burst.
Trouble In The Underwater Paradise
Luffy rejected Hammond's offer of joining the New Fish-Man Pirates and the fish-man prepared to attack. Franky activated Coup de Burst and the ship flew through the bubble surrounding Fish-Man Island. The ship then fell into a current and the crew got separated. Chopper, Luffy, Sanji, and Usopp were seen again in Camie's house meeting and getting reacquainted with Camie. Camie introduced them to some of her friends, the Medaka Mermaid Quintuplets, and took them to Mermaid Cove where they met more mermaids. As Sanji swam with the mermaids, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper relaxed. Chopper expressed his surprise that Sanji is back to his normal self, wondering if it was in the chef's nature. He also said that he is glad that Sanji was feeling better, as he had run out of Sanji's blood-type in his blood stock. Chopper states that Sanji has a rare blood-type and that he would not be able to treat any more nosebleeds. While Camie was telling Luffy that Jinbe is not present on Fish-Man Island, Chopper was shocked when a sea serpent appeared behind Usopp. When the Medaka Mermaid Quintuplets informed them that a royal gondola was approaching, Chopper, Luffy, and Usopp hid behind cover while Sanji was being covered by a mermaid. The three brothers of the Neptune House appeared, searching for the people who entered Fish-Man Island illegally. The mermaids denied that they had seen any intruders. As the three brothers are leaving, Sanji suffered his worst nosebleed to date, forcing the Straw Hats to reveal themselves. As the Ammo Knights started advancing, Chopper pleaded for them to stop and help Sanji, asking if anyone could donate blood. He explained that if they did not get blood for Sanji, he would die in half an hour. Chopper asked if there is anyone who has a blood type of S RH-, going on to say that it is extremely rare. Camie told Chopper that fish-men and merfolk have the same blood as humans and it is transferable. She was about to explain further, but Hammond interrupted her, continuing her explanation. He explained that there has been a rule in place for a long time stating it is forbidden for humans and fish-men to share blood. He went on to say how Fisher Tiger supposedly died. After a gruesome battle, Fisher Tiger suffered a critical blood lost and could have been saved with a blood transfusion, but humans refused to help him. Hammond added that the rule was put in place by humans ages ago so that their bloodline would not mix with "monsters." Hammond and his group attempted to capture the four Straw Hats, but Luffy repelled them. When a Sea Beast tried to attack Luffy, the Straw Hat captain subdued it with Supreme King Haki, and Chopper and Usopp were shocked by how the monster acknowledged its loss without actually fighting. Camie stole the royal gondola and helped the four Straw Hats escape. After Usopp noticed Sanji's smirk and Chopper yelled at Sanji not to think about anything as every second matters, Camie then took the group to Coral Hill. At the port town, Camie and the four pirates found shelter in Madam Shyarly's Mermaid Cafe. Madam Shyarly provided them a room where they could treat Sanji with blood donated by Splash and Splatter, two okama pirates found at a nearby bar. Chopper checked Luffy's blood, saw that Luffy got poisoned by the octopus merman, and was amazed that Luffy's body was able to fight against it. Chopper stayed with Sanji to ensure his recovery while Luffy, Usopp, and Camie went out to see Pappag. When the Ammo Knights tried to arrest him and Sanji because of Madam Shyarly's premonition, the false accusation for mermaid kidnappings, and some of the Straw Hats taking over Ryugu Palace, Chopper used his new Kung Fu Point to fight them off, something that the soldiers and citizens thought was a weird animal. Having slightly recovered, Sanji told Chopper that he was going to see the Mermaid Princess, even if it would cost him his life. Chopper scolded him, telling him that if she was beautiful, Sanji might die instantly. Sanji then defeated the rest of the Ammo Knights and expressed his disappointment of having to give up his chance of going to Ryugu Palace since they were trying to handcuff him. Chopper scolded Sanji for overdoing things, but Sanji snapped back saying what is done is done. Sanji then complimented him on his Kung Fu Point, and the reindeer happily danced while claiming not to be happy about that compliment. When they heard people screaming that a bloodied person was found and needed a doctor, Chopper turned to their direction and said that he is a doctor. Chopper and Sanji then found a wounded Hatchan, who warned them of an impending attack by the New Fish-Man Pirates. As Chopper tended to Hatchan's wounds, he and Sanji were met with accusations from the Fish-Man Island citizens. While hovering above Coral Hill on top of Megalo, Luffy saw them and jumped down to meet them. Megalo, who was holding Princess Shirahoshi in his mouth, reached his limit and spat her out. While the Fish-Man Island citizens instantly concluded this as a Mermaid Princess kidnapping, Chopper yelled at Sanji not to turn around or else he might die from another nosebleed. For the sake of his dream, Sanji decided to turn around even if it meant death, much to Chopper's horror. However, instead of getting a nosebleed, Sanji became petrified. Chopper said that it must have been the effects of the okama blood transfer. The citizens then tied up Chopper and the group, but were interrupted by the arrival of Vander Decken IX. After Luffy pummeled Decken into the ground, he checked on Sanji. Chopper informed him that Sanji had reverted to his normal state. The princess and the entire group then hopped on Megalo and flew away. After Luffy knocked back Wadatsumi, the entire group headed for the Sea Forest. After reaching the Sea Forest, Chopper decided it was safe for him to take his time to treat Hatchan's wounds. The group then got acquainted with Franky, Den, and Jinbe. Chopper then told Franky that he was going to lower Hatchan down from Megalo, and he should be ready to grab him. After Hatchan was lowered, Chopper was surprised to see that Sanji is acting like his old usual self in front of Shirahoshi. Nami and Camie soon arrived and Chopper happily realized that Sanji is finally cured of his nosebleed tendencies. Chopper made medicine and listened to Jinbe as he explained the dark past of the fish-men and merfolk as well as the ideals of Queen Otohime and Fisher Tiger. After Jinbe finished his story, Chopper and Nami had a friendly conversation with Princess Shirahoshi. When Hatchan started explaining Hody's plan, a large Visual Den Den Mushi appeared and the group watches a broadcast by Hody himself. Hody explained his plan of recreating the Ryugu Kingdom with himself as the ruler and then addressed the Straw Hat Pirates. Once he showed the imprisoned Zoro, Usopp, and Brook, Chopper was shocked. After Hody finished his speech, Luffy resolved to fight him. However, Jinbe told him not to. Chopper and Franky then correctly guessed that it was because they are humans. Chopper then watched Luffy and Jinbe trying to settle their dispute on how to deal with Hody.
Battle For Fishman Island
Chopper later appeared in Gyoncorde Plaza with the rest of the Straw Hats preparing to fight against the New Fish-Man Pirates. When Franky mentioned a new weapon in the Soldier Dock System, Chopper got on board along with Usopp, Nami, and Pappag. He kept asking Usopp if he could drive it. He then rode out on the Brachio Tank V, calling himself "Commander Chopper." When the Brachio Tank IV fell in a pitfall created by Daruma, Chopper was thrown out with the others by Franky. He then went underground, using his new Horn Point and hindered Daruma in making more pitfalls. He launched him back to the surface and when arrived there, Luffy mistook his new form for a stag beetle. Chopper then faced off against Daruma. Everyone panicked when they saw Noah bearing down on Fish-Man Island. Chopper was underground with Daruma when Usopp called out for him. Dosun got behind Usopp and tried to take him by surprise, but Chopper intervened using Horn Canon: Elf to push Dosun back. While Usopp prepared to fight Daruma, Chopper prepared to fight Dosun. Later, Chopper commented on the new attack from General Franky, but was shocked to see that Franky was the attacker instead of the robot. Dosun tried to take advantage of this distraction, but Chopper transformed into his new Heavy Point and matched Dosun's T-Shot with a Heavy Gong. As Chopper recoiled from the force of the attack, Zoro commented on the new monstrous appearance of the transformation, which Chopper willingly accepted. Later, Chopper rampaged in his Monster Point, much to Usopp's surprise. Usopp nervously told Chopper that the situation was not that serious for him to go like that. Then, Chopper turned to him and said that he was alright, meaning that Chopper was in fact still conscious. After explaining to Usopp that he can use one Rumble Ball to stay in Monster Point for three minutes, he turned back to Dosun and easily knocked out the fish-man with his Kokutei Parmei attack. After all the leaders of the New Fish-Man Pirates had been defeated, the Straw Hats looked into the sky as Luffy tried to destroy Noah. When the Sea Kings appeared and stopped Noah from falling, saving the ship and the island at the same time, everyone on Fish-Man Island celebrated.
The After Battle Celebration And Departure
Moments later Shirahoshi brought Luffy to the plaza, dismayed to inform everyone that Luffy had lost a lot of blood. Chopper then asked the citizens if any of them had type F blood. He recalled the law prohibiting fish-man-human blood transfusions, but Jinbe stepped up and volunteered to donate blood, saying that he does not need to follow the law, since he is a pirate. Chopper carried out the procedure. Luffy invited Jinbe to join the crew, but Jinbe declined, saying that he has some unfinished business. Chopper and the rest of the crew informed Jinbe he is welcome to join whenever he is ready. Neptune invited the crew to a banquet and the crew partied at Ryugu Palace with the royal family. After partying for a while, Chopper was enjoying himself, when Jinbe recounted the conflict between Aokiji and Akainu. Chopper proudly stated he had already heard about it. He then expressed dismay at the statement that the Blackbeard Pirates are hunting strong Devil Fruit users. He believed that he would be a target, but Usopp pointed out that they would not need the Hito Hito no Mi. After the party ended, Chopper was talking with Usopp about the treasure stolen by Caribou that Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji went to collect. He suggested they help them search and was surprised about how high Caribou's bounty is. Chopper and the rest of the crew were later shocked that Luffy challenged Big Mom. Afterwards, Chopper and the rest of the crew bid the citizens of Fish-Man Island farewell and promised (except Franky and Zoro) Shirahoshi to take her to the surface someday. The crew began to set sail with the Thousand Sunny and head towards the New World. On their way to New World, Nami put Chopper to guard while she took a shower using her Shower Tempo. Chopper remarked how the Shower Tempo clouds look sweet and yummy like cotton candy and showed his concern if the crew would be alright with Nami not on the deck. After the crew reached the New World, Chopper commented on how the sea of New World looks red.
Dressrosa Saga
Punk Hazard Arc
Arrival At Punk Hazard
Soon after entering the New World, the crew spotted an island surrounded by a sea of flames. The Straw Hats received a distress call from someone who seemed to be in trouble and mentioned something about a samurai. After Luffy decided to go rescue the person, Chopper expressed relief that he was not one of those chosen to accompany Luffy on his exploration mission, stating that he is not good with heat. While Usopp, Robin, Luffy, and Zoro fought a dragon, Chopper and other Straw Hats that remained on the Thousand Sunny were knocked out by sleeping gas and all, except for Brook, were abducted. The captured Straw Hats later woke up in a cell and found parts of a samurai's still-living head. After putting the pieces of the head back together, the group got information from Kin'emon. Once they decided to break out, Franky used his Radical Beam to blast a hole in the wall, allowing the crew to escape. They ran down through the halls of the complex and stumbled upon a room filled with giant children. The children were excited to see them, but Sanji just wanted to escape the room before they are recaptured. While their pursuers came after them, the children begged the pirates to help them escape. Nami could not ignore their cries and decided to help them. Sanji, Franky, and Chopper attacked the men in the gas masks. Nami and Chopper ran away with the children while Sanji and Franky held the enemy back. Since he was entrusted with protecting the children, Chopper was determined to live up to Sanji and Franky's expectations. As they ran, the children told Nami and Chopper about how they were abducted and that they were inflicted with some kind of disease. Nami was suspicious and told Chopper to investigate the children later. They then ran into a room with corpses frozen in the walls, floor, and ceiling. Frightened, the group escaped and met up with Franky, Sanji, and Kin'emon, and they all ran out of the building and into the shocked view of the Marines of G-5, Smoker, Tashigi, and Law. They immediately turned around and tried to find another exit to avoid any combat. As they were running away, Law used his ability to rearrange the personalities of the Straw Hat Pirates, putting Chopper in Sanji's body and Franky in Chopper's body. After escaping, Chopper (in Sanji's body) helped keep Nami (in Franky's body) from hurting Sanji anymore than she can. The group reunited with Zoro, Luffy, Robin, Brook, and Usopp at the back side of the Punk Hazard facility. The Straw Hats tied up Brownbeard and brought each other up to speed on the current situation. After interrogating Brownbeard, they learned about the scientist Caesar Clown. Kin'emon later left the group to find his torso and Sanji, Brook, and Zoro go out to find him. In the meantime, Chopper began to examine the children and the source of their sicknesses, while Franky (in Chopper's body) experimented with Chopper's abilities and made weird faces. Before long, several of the giant children started to feel pain, saying that they need the candy usually given to them in order to make the pain go away. However, Chopper stated that the candy contains a drug that the children became addicted to, and Luffy's group learned that the children had been experimented on. One of the giant children hit Luffy and the others went on a rampage, forcing Usopp to put them to sleep. Chopper expressed his sympathy towards the children, and Luffy's group decided to help the children and found Caesar. The group tied up the giant children so that they could not destroy anything else. Luffy, Usopp, Franky, and Robin left Chopper and Nami to watch the children while they headed to Caesar's lab. While they were gone, the Yeti Cool Brothers attacked and gunned down Brownbeard. By the time Luffy's group returned, they had kidnapped Nami. Luffy and Franky decided to go after the brothers. Franky asked Chopper to give him some Rumble Balls. Chopper gave him one and advised him on how to use it. However, Franky immediately took one, transformed into Monster Point, and went on a rampage while chasing after Luffy.
Alliance With Law And A Plan To Defeat Caesar Clown
After the defeat of the Yeti Cool Brothers, Luffy, Franky, Nami, and Law returned to the hideout. Chopper and the rest were shocked that Luffy formed an alliance with Law. Law then returned Chopper to his body and Franky to his. Chopper scolded Luffy and Franky for causing damage to his body. When the Straw Hats insisted for Law to assist them in helping the children, Law asked to take Chopper with him to help find the medicine that was used on the children. Usopp tied Chopper to Law's hat, while the rest laughed at Law. Chopper was tied to his nodachi instead. Law later warped both himself and Chopper to the back side of the facility to began their part of the plan. The two briefly discussed on how they are going to investigate the drugs. They were later seen inside, where Law managed to lead Monet away while Chopper (hiding inside Law's bag) is left in the room unnoticed. Chopper then left his hiding spot and started sneaking around in the facility. He later found Luffy's group in Caesar's clutches. Before Caesar sent them outside to die by the poisonous gas cloud created by Smiley, a piece of paper was hurled at Chopper. Chopper read a note, which told him not to do anything. He later ran passed Caesar's location, planning to escape the facility. Chopper managed to acquire enough information of the drug and even got a sedative. As he ran through the hallway, Monet noticed him. Chopper later met up with Mocha and explained to her about Caesar's deception and using the kids for his experiments and how if Caesar continued to use them, the children would die before they reach adulthood. Mocha remembered her friends promising to each other that when they get older, they would reunite and go on an adventure. The gravity of the situation became clear to Mocha and Chopper promised that he and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates would save her. While Mocha guarded the candy in the Biscuits Room, Chopper attempted the hold back the children. He later entered Monster Point and was fending off the children in Building B. However, Chopper was unable to fight without hurting the children and was beaten down. When the Rumble Ball wear off, the children ran past him and made their way to the Biscuits Room. At this point, Brook, Kin'emon, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Robin came to his aid. Chopper told them that he was trying to prevent the children from getting their candy with the aid of Mocha. The group quickly ran after the children to the Biscuits Room. Regardless of Robin's attempt to hinder them, they went after Mocha, who was holding a piece of candy. After Chopper told Mocha to run, Monet appeared and told Mocha not to keep the candy all to herself and that she should share the candy with the other children. Chopper and Nami then tended to Robin, but she assured them that her wound was only a cut. Monet tried to attack them when they attempted to run after the children, but Zoro quickly blocked her. After getting hit by Nami's Heat Egg, Monet dove into the snow and stopped Nami, Chopper, and Robin from leaving by creating a wall to block their path. An enraged Monet suddenly ensnared Nami and Chopper and prepared to bite Chopper. Nami swiftly moved Chopper out of harm's way and Robin used her Hana Hana no Mi abilities to shatter Monet, saving Chopper and Nami from another attack. Zoro then cut down the snow barrier, allowing Robin, Nami, and Chopper to go after the children. Chopper, Nami, and Robin then tried their best to keep the berserk children from catching up to Mocha. While Nami and Robin hinder them, Chopper sedated them one at a time. Despite their efforts, some of the children managed to get around the Straw Hat Pirates and caught Mocha. Having no choice, Mocha put the entire batch of candy in her mouth as Chopper, Nami, and Robin watched in horror. Despite Chopper's pleas, she swallowed all the candy. Mocha then began coughing up blood, due to the serious overdose of the drug. As the children were shocked at what they saw, Chopper yelled at them, saying that Mocha sacrificed herself to save them. As they rushed to Mocha, Sanji and the G-5 Medical Team finally arrived to help. Some of the Marines had Mocha moved to an examination room so Chopper could tend to her condition. Chopper complimented Mocha on her bravery and hoped that he could save her. Nami, Robin, Sanji, the children, and the G-5 with them went on ahead to Building R as Chopper and the Marines with him treated Mocha. Once Chopper was finished with the treatment, they proceeded to Building R as well. They later ran into Brook and a petrified Kin'emon. Once everyone reached Building R safely, they boarded a rail car and made their escape.
Aftermath
Sometime after Baby 5 and Buffalo's defeat, Law treated the children's conditions in a nearby tanker. When Chopper thought that Law had done something horrible to the children, he screamed and repeatedly called Law a murderer. After Law came out of the ship, Chopper demanded to know what he had done to the children, and Law answered by telling him to mind his own business, and that he had just finished cutting them into pieces. Frightened by this blunt answer, Chopper ran inside and was relieved to see that the children were okay. The kids told Chopper that Law took out all the NHC10 from their bodies and that they felt great, although being cut into pieces was pretty scary. They then talked about Mocha and what she did to save her friends, and asked Chopper if she would wake up. He assured them that she would wake up and that everyone would return home, away from this nightmare. He then left as Tashigi came in and told the children the Marines would take care of them from then on. Later, after Mocha woke up, an overjoyed Chopper hugged her in relief. Everyone then had a feast together. After the party ended, Chopper and the rest of the Straw Hats began to prepare to set sail again. As they were leaving, Nami told Chopper that Vegapunk would help cure the kids from the effects of the candy. Chopper reacted by saying that it that was very good news. While they made their way, the G-5 Marines put up a banner to prevent the kids from seeing the Straw Hats while yelling things like Marines are justice and pirates are scum. The kids, however, said that they were the ones who saved them, while remembering all the Straw Hats did for them. The G-5 Marines continued to speak ill of pirates and praised the Marines, but Tashigi interrupted them and said that they were a disgrace. The G-5 Marines responded by saying that if they did not badmouth the pirates, they would come to admire and respect them. Eventually the Marines lowered their voices and banners to let the kids say their goodbyes, while Chopper and the rest of the Straw Hats waved them goodbye, as they made their way to their ship. Chopper and the Straw Hat Pirates were later seen on a Sea Slope, which Law mentions is pretty common in their current area. A little while later, Luffy started to explain that they formed an alliance to take down an Emperor. Chopper continued to treat Caesar's injuries, until he began to say that they are practically making themselves targets to the big shots of the New World. He continued to taunt them, and called them a larger group of idiots and that only death awaited them. Sanji responded by kicking Caesar, which in turn angered Chopper, saying that he was still treating his wounds, and that Sanji could kick him after he was done with that. Law then proceeded to explain the operations and underworld deals of all the major pirates of the New World and that Doflamingo, also known as Joker, is the one with the most influence in the underworld. Law continued on, saying that Doflamingo's biggest client is Kaidou, which greatly shocked Kin'emon and Momonosuke. Law continued to explain the next goal of their plan, which is to cut down Kaidou's forces as much as possible, specifically his army of synthetic devil fruit users. When Law informed the crew that the current number of Synthetic devil fruit users is about 500, Chopper, Usopp, and Nami voted against the plan but without success. Law assured the crew that the number would not grow any time soon, due to the capture of Caesar Clown. Chopper complimented Caesar about his manufacturing of the synthetic devil fruits which made Caesar quite happy and Usopp quite angry. Law then said that it was really Vegapunk that developed a theory on the devil fruits, and that Caesar only applied it, which made Chopper lose all interest in Caesar. Law concluded by saying that the devil fruits are being made on their next destination, Dressrosa, and also warned the crew to not underestimate Doflamingo. Luffy then asked Kin'emon if he had business on Dressrosa and Kin'emon revealed that one of his comrades was being held prisoner there. Later that evening, Chopper and Usopp went on guard duty while wearing samurai armor. The next morning, everyone read the news about Doflamingo's resignation from the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They saw that the paper also explained Luffy and Law's alliance and the alliance among Eustass Kid, Basil Hawkins, and Scratchmen Apoo.
Dressrosa Arc
The Next Objective
After Law contacted Doflamingo to inform him that they would bring Caesar to Green Bit, Chopper had a meal with the rest of the crew while Kin'emon and Momonosuke told them the story about how they were shipwrecked and drifted to Dressrosa, how Momonosuke was separated from his father, and how Kanjuro was captured. The Thousand Sunny later approached Dressrosa. After disembarking, the group split into three teams. Chopper was part of the team that guarded the Thousand Sunny. Chopper freaked out when he saw that Sanji was not part of his group. Momonosuke later played shogun with Chopper, Nami, and Brook. When Brook started singing a song, they heard strange noises and a voice coming from the men's room. The voice belonged to Giolla of the Donquixote Pirates, who had invaded the ship along with several of her subordinates. Using her Devil Fruit power, she turned the men's room into abstract art and then did the same to Nami, Chopper, Brook, and Momonosuke. Hoping to lure Giolla away from the ship, Chopper and Brook left on the Shark Submerge III while Nami and Momonosuke rode the Shiro Mokuba I, but Giolla transformed the ship into art anyway, rendering it unable to sail. Chopper, Nami, and Brook attempted to fight back and managed to defeat Giolla's men and destroy her ship. Giolla used her Devil Fruit powers to turn Chopper's hooves and horns into art, rendering them useless. The three Straw Hats then received a call from Law. They begged Law to come save them, but instead, Law ordered them to bring the Thousand Sunny to Green Bit. Giolla later trapped Chopper, Momonosuke, and Nami in a deadly painting that would slowly suffocate them in ten minutes. Brook acted nonchalant, seemingly caring more about the art that was being created than his friends' lives. The skeleton asked Giolla to turn his violin and cane back to normal so that he could add accompaniment to their death. Once Giolla complied, Brook then slashed her using Drawing Song Hitoyogiri, defeating her and causing her power to wear off, turning everyone back to normal. Later on, Nami's group kept attacking Giolla to ensure she was completely incapacitated. They discussed what to do with Giolla and wondered why Law was not handing Caesar back to Doflamingo. Giolla proudly informed them that Doflamingo never quit the Warlord's and explained his gambit to them, leaving them shocked and worried. As they got close to Green Bit, Nami's group was horrified to see Fighting Fish attacking the Sunny. When they saw Doflamingo approaching the ship, they cried in terror but were overjoyed and relieved when Sanji intercepted him.
A Change Of Plans
When Sanji was overwhelmed and immobilized by Doflamingo's strings, Nami's group panicked. Doflamingo was about to deal a lethal blow to Sanji, but Law intervened by using Shambles and teleported Sanji, Caesar, and himself to the Thousand Sunny. Law then instructed Nami's group to head for Zou. Nami's group was reluctant to leave behind the other Straw Hats, but they complied when they realized that the ship was facing threats from both Doflamingo and Fujitora. After blocking an attack from Doflamingo, Law informed the Straw Hats about Doflamingo's Devil Fruit powers and instructed them to go to a place without clouds. Law then took Giolla hostage, giving Nami's group enough time to escape using Coup de Burst. After sailing far away from Dressrosa, Chopper expressed his concern for Law. When Zoro finally made contact with Luffy at the Corrida Colosseum, the group on the Sunny engaged in a conference call with both Luffy and Franky's group. After everyone was brought up to speed and learned about the true situation on Dressrosa, Sanji decided to sail back to Dressrosa to carry out their assault on Doflamingo, much to Chopper's dismay. Through the Den Den Mushi, the group on the Sunny heard the skirmish occurring at the Corrida Colosseum and was shocked to hear that an Admiral was also present in Dressrosa. To make matters worse, the return trip was cut short by the appearance of the Big Mom Pirates, who were after Caesar Clown. Since returning to Dressrosa was not a wise option, Chopper and the others on the Thousand Sunny continued on to Zou.
The Next Island
Chopper and the others managed to deal some damage to the enemy pirate ship when Chopper assumed Monster Point and used Caesar as a net to catch incoming cannonballs that Brook had slashed and frozen with Soul Solid, allowing Sanji to kick them back with Diable Jambe, igniting Caesar's gas and sending the fiery cannonballs crashing into the side of Big Mom's ship. Since none of the crew present knew how to use the Coup de Burst, they eluded the Big Mom Pirates thanks to a fog Nami created. They arrived at Zou the next day. After forcing Caesar to take them on the giant elephant's back, they came across Sheepshead chasing after Tristan. After saving Tristan and running from Sheepshead, they found Zou's ruined city covered in poison gas and the devastated Mink Tribe. Pedro begged Chopper's group to help Inuarashi and Nekomamushi. When Caesar acted pleased on how destructive the poison gas weapon used by the Beasts Pirates was, Chopper angrily beat him up. Some time later back on the Thousand Sunny, Chopper was eager to go and save Tristan, and had to berate Caesar for wanting to stay on the ship. After the brief conflict with another band of pirates, Chopper yelled at everyone to come to his location quickly. After fending off Zou's enemies and forcing Caesar to neutralize the poison gas, Chopper and his group then get to work on treating the injured minks, saving them from certain death and gaining their gratitude.

Zou Arc
Big Moms Invitation
Several days later, they discovered that two members of the Big Mom Pirates, Pekoms and Capone Bege, had arrived at Zou. Sanji and Brook then spoke with the Big Mom Pirates members in private. After Bege shot Pekoms in the back for agreeing to let the Straw Hats go, he summoned his men from his body and captured Caesar and Sanji's group, except Momonosuke, who had locked himself inside his room. Bege then took them inside his body to continue the conversation with the Straw Hats. While talking to Sanji, Bege gave him an invitation to the Big Mom Pirates' wedding Tea Party. Bege also identified him as the third son of the Vinsmoke Family and indicated he would be marrying Pudding, the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family. As the other Straw Hats reacted to the news, they remembered Sanji's mysterious comment that he was born in the North Blue. After writing a note, Sanji gave it to his friends. He apologized to his crew, explaining it was not his intention to hide things from them. He then threw Nami, Chopper, and Brook out of Bege's body. Sanji snatched a rifle from one of the Fire Tank Pirates and held Caesar at gunpoint to prevent Bege's crew from going after his comrades. As Nami, Chopper, and Brook plead for Sanji to stay with them, Sanji promised that he would return before Bege fled with him and Caesar. His disheartened friends were now left with just a note which made light of the situation.
Reunion With Luffy
After Luffy and his group arrived at Zou, Chopper and Nami resided in Rightflank Forest. Nami was sleeping on a giant sheep mink when Chopper informed her that Luffy and his group arrived. Chopper and Nami then quickly went to greet them. While feasting with the minks, Chopper and Nami explained to Luffy's group about how the Thousand Sunny group escaped the Big Mom Pirates. When Chopper heard that Duke Inuarashi regained consciousness, Chopper and two mink doctors, Miyagi and Tristan, went to check up on him. After Wanda brought the rest of the Straw Hats to Duke Inuarashi's home, Chopper welcomed them. When Wanda mentioned about a weapon Jack used against the Mink Tribe, Chopper revealed that it was one of Caesar's poison gas weapons. When Wanda finished with her recollection on the devastation Jack caused and the Mink Tribe's salvation, Chopper decided to visit Nekomamushi and the Guardians. The Straw Hats, Wanda, and Carrot then traveled to the Whale Forest. After explaining about the circumstances concerning Sanji's departure from Zou, Chopper wondered if they will never get to see Sanji again. Zoro expressed apathy for the situation, much to Chopper's anger. After Luffy declared that he would ask Sanji himself, Chopper told them that Pekoms was left behind, so they could ask him some questions. After arriving at the Whale Forest, Chopper was told by a reindeer mink, Milky, with whom he is entranced, that Nekomamushi was inside his home taking a bath, which shocked him. When Chopper found Nekomamushi eating lasagna while taking a bath, he yelled at the feline mink that he was not allowed to take baths, as his wounds would reopen, and was supposed to eat light foods and not use his left hand. Nekomamushi replied that he loved freedom as he walked out of the bath, and Chopper yelled at him for ignoring his orders. When he started playing with a ball, his wounds reopened. Nekomamushi ended up in bed, which he claimed was because he wanted to be. Chopper gave him an injection while he played with a foxtail. Nekomamushi claimed that he felt better already, but Chopper smacked him and told him to lie down. Chopper, Robin, Usopp, and Brook then went to see Luffy, who was visiting Pekoms alongside Nami and Zoro. Chopper was in disbelief to see Nekomamushi following them. After Nekomamushi carelessly injured himself while greeting Luffy and Zoro, Chopper panicked and once again tended to his wounds as Law and his crew arrived. After Law warned them about the threat of Kaidou, Nekomamushi partied with both the Straw Hats (except Robin, Franky, and Brook) and the Heart Pirates.
Revelations And A New Alliance
On the next morning, Chopper and his group heard a bell ringing and realized that Kin'emon and Kanjuro had arrived. They quickly rushed to find them, fearing what would happen if the Mink Tribe meets the samurais. The Straw Hats managed to intercept Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Momonosuke just as they arrived at Kurau City and tried desperately to keep them hidden. However, as Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were fighting, Kin'emon and Kanjuro revealed themselves. Contrary to what the Straw Hats expected, the Mink Tribe welcomed the samurais and revealed that Raizo is safe. The Straw Hats were stunned to learn that the minks knew about Raizo all along and went to great lengths to keep him hidden despite the abuse they suffered. The Straw Hats were further shocked when Kin'emon revealed that Momonosuke was not his son, but rather the heir to the daimyo of Kuri. Inuarashi and Nekomamushi then took the Straw Hats, Law, and the samurais to Raizo's location in a secret area inside the whale-shaped tree. As they journeyed there, Chopper and the male pirates began fantasizing on what Raizo would be, imagining him to be a stereotypical ninja. When they saw Raizo, they were shocked at his ugly appearance, but still begged him to perform tricks. Raizo initially refused, but relented after the Straw Hats began sulking. They were then awestruck as Raizo performed his ninja arts. Chopper, Luffy, and Usopp then accompanied Kin'emon, Kanjuro, and Raizo as they stood outside the Whale Tree, expressing their sorrows as they saw the state Zou was in after Jack's attack. When Robin deciphered the red poneglyph hidden in the Whale Tree, Nekomamushi called them back in. Inuarashi then explained to the Straw Hats about the four Road Poneglyphs and they listened in anticipation as he revealed how they can lead to Laugh Tale. When Nekomamushi revealed that Kaidou and Big Mom each possessed one Road Poneglyph, Chopper, Usopp, Nami, and Brook were deeply shocked. The Straw Hats were then surprised when Nekomamushi revealed that Momonosuke's ancestors created the poneglyhs. However, the samurais explained that Momonosuke never inherited the knowledge of the poneglyphs due to the execution of Lord Oden at the hands of Kaidou and the shogun of Wano. The Straw Hats also learned that Oden was part of Roger's crew and had been on Laugh Tale with him as well as the Beasts Pirates' objective in obtaining the secret that Oden knew. Right after Luffy agreed to form an alliance with the samurais and the Mink Tribe, the group left the secret room. Afterwards, Chopper and the others learned that Inuarashi and Nekomamushi traveled with Oden and had been on the ships of both Whitebeard and Gol D. Roger. The alliance decided to split up to accomplish different tasks and meet up again at Wano. Chopper, Nami, and Brook chose to accompany Luffy in his mission to rescue Sanji. However, before they could start their operation, they felt Zou shaking and heard Zunesha crying. As everything shook around them, they witnessed Luffy and Momonosuke's ability to hear Zunesha's voice. They then heard from Momonosuke that Jack returned to Zou and started attacking Zunesha. On Momonosuke's command, Zunesha sank Jack's fleet with one blow. With the threat of Jack ended, everyone became calm again. Chopper, Miyagi, and many other minks then treated Zunesha's injured leg. After Luffy retrieved Pekoms and Pedro volunteered to join the Sanji Retrieval Team, Luffy's group departed from Zou. Everyone, except the Straw Hat members left behind, were shocked when Luffy jumped off Zunesha with his party.
Journey To Whole Cake Island
As they sailed towards Whole Cake Island on the Thousand Sunny, Chopper, Nami, and Brook were still recovering from the shock of Luffy's stunt at Zou. They were then surprised to see Carrot has snuck aboard the ship. After she begged them not to turn back, the group allowed her to come along. When the crew got hungry, Luffy insisted on preparing a meal himself because Nami was going to charge them money for the food. Chopper and the rest of the Sanji Retrieval Team then learned from a newspaper about the Blackbeard Pirates' attack on the Revolutionary Army's headquarters on Baltigo, surprising everyone on board. After passing through a storm, Luffy presented his dish, which the group did not enjoy in the least. Luffy then admitted that he used up all the food they had and the group found themselves in a food shortage crisis.
Whole Cake Island Arc
Entering Totto Land
A few days later, the group was famished from the lack of food and overheated as they passed through boiling waters. They were saved from starvation when Luffy managed to catch a gigantic fish. Chopper quickly get the encyclopedia with information on the fish. The group, except for Luffy, enjoyed a meal prepared by Nami using Sanji's recipe. Luffy was incapacitated by food poisoning after eating the fish's toxic skin, causing Chopper to worry for him. After entering Big Mom's waters, the group was approached by a ship belonging to Germa 66. When they saw a hooded man aboard the ship, the group mistook him for Sanji until the man revealed himself to be Sanji's younger brother, Vinsmoke Yonji. Chopper was deeply shocked due to Yonji's resemblance to Sanji. When Luffy's condition worsened, Chopper begged Yonji for an antidote. Yonji then taunted the group to try to take the antidote by force. Sanji's older sister, Vinsmoke Reiju, appeared and kicked Yonji for his rudeness. She then boarded the Thousand Sunny and cured Luffy by sucking the poison out of him. With Luffy's life saved, Chopper was overjoyed. Yonji and Reiju then departed without reporting the Sanji Retrieval Team's presence. The group later docked at Cacao Island, an island close to Whole Cake Island. After seeing buildings made of chocolate, Chopper and Luffy went ahead to explore the island. When they ate a café, a policeman confronted them and was about to arrest them. The owner of the café, Charlotte Pudding, arrived and came to their defense, saying that they were hired to dismantle the café. After she saved Chopper and Luffy, the Sanji Retrieval Team accompanied her home where she offered them food. The Sanji Retrieval Team was then shocked to learn that the woman they were conversing with was Sanji's bride-to-be, who in turn, was surprised to discover that the group was from the Straw Hat crew. After calming down, Chopper and the team listened as Pudding explained more about the Charlotte Family and her thoughts about Sanji. Chopper was shocked to hear that Sanji turned her down. Pudding then showed them a secret route to Whole Cake Island and told them where to meet her while promising to bring Sanji to them. The Sanji Retrieval Team then left in a hurry when guards arrived for Pudding and quickly returned to the Thousand Sunny. Pekoms was nowhere to be seen and they found a message telling them to turn back. After leaving Cocao Island, the team sailed on Pudding's route. When Pedro announced that they were approaching the next island, Chopper and Carrot were excited, but Nami decided not to approach the island. The Thousand Sunny was later attacked by a giant aquatic centipede, causing Chopper and Nami to run in fear as the rest of the team prepared to battle it. The team later battled a swarm of giant ants before getting trapped in a frozen sea of syrup as night fell. As they worked to unfreeze the sea, Chopper and the rest of the team listened as Pedro revealed his past history in Totto Land and his plan to steal Big Mom's Road Poneglyph. The next day, the team reached Whole Cake Island.
Quest In The Mirroworld
After docking at the southwestern coast of Whole Cake Island, the team split into two groups, with Pedro and Brook departing to find Big Mom's Road Poneglyph. Right after Chopper's group disembarked on the island, Luffy saw what appeared to be Sanji in the nearby forest. Luffy, Chopper, and Carrot ran after him with Nami following them, but Sanji mysteriously disappeared. Chopper, Luffy, and Carrot headed into the woods to look for Sanji, but kept getting distracted by their sweet environment. They were nearly eaten by a talking crocodile, and things only grew more shocking as Luffy encountered his living reflection. Chopper, Carrot, and Nami saw Sanji on a tree branch, which disappeared, and they pursued a fleeing figure. They encountered a large man buried up to his neck, whose lack of sense deeply infuriated Chopper. They were then suddenly attacked by a rabbit named Randolph riding a crane, and were thrown into chaos as everything in the Seducing Woods came alive to trap and kill them. Chopper, Nami, and Carrot continued running from Randolph, although Carrot managed to stop the rabbit's steed using Electro. Randolph hurled its spear at the Sanji Retrieval Team, but they dodged it as they returned to the fighting Luffys. Chopper, Nami, and Carrot unwittingly took the reflection Luffy back to the shore, but to their surprise they ended up in the exact same location after crossing the river, as though the forest had been mirrored. The reflection Luffy then revealed herself to be Charlotte Brûlée and prepared to attack Nami and Carrot. After Brûlée trapped Carrot in the Mirro-World, she explained to Chopper and Nami that Big Mom was well aware of their movements and had given orders to prevent them from meeting up with Sanji. When Brûlée ordered the living trees in the Seducing Woods to subdue the two Straw Hats, Chopper ate a Rumble Ball and transformed into Monster Point. Chopper fought off the trees to help Nami escape so she could go search for Luffy. Chopper was later captured by Brûlée and trapped in the Mirro-World alongside Carrot. After Brûlée arrived at the scene where Charlotte Cracker was confronting Nami and Luffy, Brûlée smashed her mirror into pieces. However, Chopper and Carrot remained unharmed. Inside the Mirro-World, a shackled Chopper told Carrot, also shackled, that he had a plan, and so she should call him "Brother Chopper". Carrot referred to him as "Choniki" and asked what the plan was. Chopper explained his realization that the Mirro-World is connected to every mirror on Whole Cake Island. Thus, instead of trying to escape, they should use Brûlée's power against her. Eleven hours later, Carrot and Chopper were running from Brûlée inside the Mirro-World, but began to grow tired. As they ran, Chopper and Carrot contacted Nami through a mirror shard and told her not to worry. However, their conversation abruptly ended. Chopper and Carrot were caught by Brûlée and taken to her house. However, they managed to trick Brûlée into capturing a frog that she had made into a body double of Carrot instead of Carrot herself, and Chopper was chained in Heavy Point, so he planned to have the real Carrot come in and attack while he escaped by returning to his normal form. From there, he could activate Monster Point and help take down all the enemies. When Carrot ambushed Brûlée's group and defeated Brûlée, Chopper freed himself and activated Monster Point, allowing him to flip the Noble Croc on top of several of Brûlée's subordinates, defeating them. After he and Carrot defeated everyone in the house, they celebrated and prepared to visit their allies through the mirrors. With Brûlée as their prisoner, Chopper and Carrot raced through the Mirro-World using Diesel to find Luffy and the others. After Carrot woke Brûlée up, Brûlée revealed that they could ask the mirrors to show the way to the castle. Chopper then asked the mirrors to show the location of their friends. Chopper and Carrot located Pedro and made a plan for him to end his battle with Tamago. As Pedro blew up a large amount of explosives inside his jacket, Chopper and Carrot pulled him into the Mirro-World. As they continued traveling in the Mirro-World, Chopper and Carrot were informed of Luffy and Nami's capture but were later told by the mirrors that Nami was with Jinbe. Once they located Jinbe and Nami, Chopper attempted to retrieve them but was accidentally shocked by Nami's thundercloud. After taking Nami and Jinbe into the Mirro-World, the group went on searching for Luffy, Brook, and Sanji. Chopper's group located Brook inside Big Mom's bedroom, being held in her hands as she slept. Brûlée tried to alert her mother, causing the team to bind and gag her and Diesel. Upon witnessing Big Mom and her three homies attacking a fly, the team became terrified, wondering how they were supposed to save Brook. The team then made a skeletal lookalike for Brook, which they planned to use to make a stand-in for the real Brook. Chopper snuck into the room, but accidentally sneezed, causing Big Mom to semi-consciously slam her hand down on where he was standing. After Jinbe and Nami rescued Brook from Big Mom's clutches, Chopper was surprised to see that Brook successfully copied the poneglyphs and hid the copies inside his skull. The team celebrated Brook's accomplishment, and Chopper declared that they have only one objective remaining: to retrieve Sanji. Chopper was worried when none of the mirrors were able to locate Sanji and Luffy. He started crying and seemed devastated to learn from Nami that the two of them had a fight. They managed to contact Luffy and Sanji through a mirror shard and they were surprised when Luffy decided to ruin the wedding ceremony. Chopper then listened as Jinbe explained more about Bege, such as his backstory and him plotting against Big Mom. He was shocked when Jinbe proposed to form an alliance with Bege. Luffy agreed to meet with Bege even though Chopper voted against this.
The Wedding
Chopper and his group arrived at Bege's hideout before Luffy and Sanji. After taking a bath, Chopper greeted Luffy and Sanji once they arrived. After the rest of the team finished with their baths, Chopper accompanied them inside the meeting room. During the meeting between the two groups, Chopper heard about how Bege planned to exploit a certain weakness of Big Mom. The meeting adjourned once Bege finished going over his assassination plan. Bege took the alliance members to the wedding in his castle, and Chopper slept for the first time in three days. After the wedding ceremony began, the team initially encountered a small problem when Jinbe had difficulty waking Luffy up. After they woke Luffy with food, the team went into the Mirro-World and prepared to charge into the venue. Once they heard the signal, the team unleashed duplicates of Luffy into the venue, causing chaos at the ceremony. After releasing all the duplicates, the team charged in. Chopper, Nami, and Carrot then hid inside the ruined wedding cake, waiting for the photo of Mother Carmel to be destroyed. They then watched in amazement as Jinbe officially declared to Big Mom his intention to leave the Big Mom Pirates in order to join Luffy's crew. Three seconds after Brook destroyed Carmel's portrait, Chopper, Carrot, and Nami were confused as to why Big Mom did not already start screaming. However, they were later told by Bege to put on their earplugs as he initiated his assassination operation. When Luffy caused Big Mom to start her strange scream, Chopper's group came out of hiding. Chopper then gave earplugs to the Vinsmokes right after Sanji freed them from their restraints. Chopper then watched as Bege, Vito, and Gotti fired their KX Launchers at Big Mom. However, Big Mom's scream detonated the rockets before they could reach her. With the assassination attempt a failure, Caesar flew into the venue with the escape mirror and Bege signaled the alliance members to retreat. Before they could escape into the mirror, Big Mom's scream shattered it, leaving them trapped in the venue. After Bege transformed into Big Father, he instructed the alliance to retreat inside. Before he could do so, Chopper was restrained by Oven, but was released after Niji attacked Oven. Chopper then retreated successfully into Bege's fortress, along with the rest of the alliance. Inside, Chopper and Nami shivered in terror as Bege explained about the dire situation they were in.
Escape From Totto Land
As Bege's fortress suffered damage from Big Mom's attacks, Luffy prepared to fight her, but Nami had Chopper restrain him. Chopper then listened as Bege came up with a plan to escape with Caesar's help. After the Vinsmoke Family exited Bege's body to distract the Big Mom Pirates, Chopper cried in shock when Luffy and Sanji engaged Big Mom in combat to save Reiju. While Caesar was evading the Big Mom Pirates with Bege in tow, Chopper cheered for him. Just when the Big Mom Pirates routed Luffy's group, Bege's crew, and the Vinsmokes, the Tamatebako dropped to the base of the Whole Cake Chateau and exploded, causing the castle to topple over. As the castle collapsed, Luffy's group, Bege's crew, and the Vinsmoke Family got away. The Sanji Retrieval Team and the Fire Tank Pirates rendezvous at the northwest part of Whole Cake Island, where Luffy and Bege agreed to go their separate ways. After Bege left, Chopper and Brook volunteered to retrieve the Shark Submerge and take it back to the Thousand Sunny. After retrieving the Shark Submerge, Chopper and Brook navigated through the juice river back to the coast where the Sunny was located. While eating some of the cream from the transformed Whole Cake Chateau, Chopper spotted a merman fishing underwater. Once they returned to their ship, they found Charlotte Perospero, Charlotte Katakuri, and an army of chess soldiers on board. The two Straw Hats then prepared to fight to take back their ship. On the Sunny's deck, Chopper and Brook fought and defeated numerous Chess Soldiers. Knowing that the soldiers were coming from the mirror in Nami's room, Brook told Chopper to smash it. Perospero then took direct action against Chopper and Brook, covering them with candy and intending to kill them by turning them into candy. However, the Sanji Retrieval Team managed to return to the ship, but they were still chased by Big Mom. After Perospero trapped the ship in candy, Chopper and Brook watched in shock as Pedro attempted to take out Perospero with a suicidal explosion. Thanks to Pedro's sacrifice, the candy encasing Chopper and Brook dissolved, freeing them. They then helped Nami and Jinbe prepare the ship. After Luffy grabbed and dragged Katakuri into the Mirro-World, Chopper and his group on the Thousand Sunny escaped Whole Cake Island with a Coup de Burst. As the team mourned Pedro's self sacrifice and lamented on their inability to save him, Jinbe encouraged them to press on and keep their guard up. With the team spurred into action, Chopper gained some confidence and Nami had him take the helm as they sailed to Cacao Island. While under siege by the Big Mom Pirates, the team encountered another dire predicament when Big Mom created a massive wave homie to engulf the Thousand Sunny. However, thanks to Jinbe's skills as a helmsman, the team managed to come out of that situation unharmed. They then contacted Luffy through a mirror shard and told him to find a mirror connecting to Cacao Island so they could meet him there. On the way to Cacao Island, the group on the Sunny was puzzled when they saw no pursuers. Chopper and Carrot kept a vigilant lookout. As they were getting closer to Cacao Island, Jinbe told the group to prepare for a battle. Carrot informed Chopper that a full moon was coming. The group on the Sunny was later surprised to find themselves once again pursued by Big Mom and a fleet of Tarteships. They were initially able to hold their own, but they later discovered another fleet of Tarteships led by Daifuku in front of them. As they were about to be surrounded by the Big Mom Pirates, they thought about a counterattack. Carrot told the rest of the team to leave this to her, and they watched with amazement as Carrot transformed into her Sulong form and launched an attack on Daifuku's crew. Chopper continued to watch in awe of Carrot's strength, but Jinbe revealed that Carrot faced the risk of severe exhaustion if she used the Sulong form for too long. After Brook carried Carrot back to the Thousand Sunny, Chopper and his group later faced despair after Big Mom summoned Zeus and Prometheus back to her and went to attack the Sunny. Chopper watched as Big Mom tore the Sunny apart looking for the wedding cake and sent Jinbe flying into the ocean. When she tried attacking Nami, Chopper blocked her attack using Guard Point. After Jinbe returned and knocked Big Mom off the ship using Fish-Man Karate, Chopper was amazed. Big Mom then prepared to slice the entire Sunny in half, but Nami and Brook managed to manipulate Zeus into discharging all its power, engulfing Big Mom in a massive blast of lightning, which gave the Straw Hats the chance to flee. As Big Mom continued to chase after the Thousand Sunny with Prometheus in gigantic size, Chopper (in his Monster Point) struggled to defend the Sunny from Big Mom's onslaughts. As the Nostra Castello approached the Thousand Sunny, Chopper was overjoyed to see Sanji again. After Pudding brought Sanji to the Straw Hats' ship, the group happily welcomed him back. With the Fire Tank Pirates luring Big Mom away with the cake, the Straw Hats continued on to Cacao Island to retrieve Luffy. On the way, the group on the Sunny learned from Sanji that the Big Mom Pirates were aware of their rendezvous point. After Sanji and Pudding went ahead to Cacao Island to help Luffy, the group on the Sunny evade Smoothie's attacks. Chopper asked Carrot if Inuarahsi and Nekomamushi could transform like she did. As the promised rendezvous time drew near, Nami pointed out that Luffy needed Brûlée in order to leave the Mirro-World, causing the group to become concerned, given Luffy's absent-mindedness. With a few minutes remaining, Cacao Island was in sight. As they approached the island, they saw the massive fleet that the Big Mom Pirates assembled there. They were overjoyed to hear from Sanji that Luffy made it out of the Mirro-World. The group was then bewildered when they saw the Big Mom Pirates' fleet suddenly engulfed in flames. As they witnessed Germa 66 attacking the Big Mom Pirates, Sanji told them to sail past the port at full speed. The Sunny group did so and they were overjoyed to see Sanji and Luffy coming towards them. Luffy and Sanji returned to the Sunny and Chopper quickly tended to Luffy's injuries. The group was then besieged by Smoothie's fleet, but Judge came to their rescue. After the Sunny passed by Judge's castle, the group later saw enemy ships approaching them from the front and when the situation grew more dire, they were surprised when Wadatsumi appeared and attacked the enemy. The Sun Pirates cleared a path for the Sunny. However, despite their efforts, the Sunny was intercepted and attacked by the Queen Mama Chanter. Wadatsumi saved the Sunny by switching it with the Sun Pirates' ship and hid the Sunny in his mouth. Wadatsumi tried swimming away, but Oven attacked him with heat waves, forcing him to spit out the Sunny. As the Sun Pirates held back the Big Mom Pirates, Jinbe decided to stay behind to help them and Luffy consented to his decision. After Jinbe joined his former crew in battle, the Sunny group sailed far away from Cacao Island. With the Big Mom Pirates unable to pursue, the Sunny group successfully escaped Totto Land. After some rest, Sanji cooked a meal for them.
Levely Arc
Journey To Wano
After Sanji realized that he received a raid suit from Niji during the escape from Cacao Island, Chopper and Luffy begged him not to throw it away. Carrot received a newspaper and showed it to the group. They then saw that Sanji and Luffy received new bounties. Initially, the group misread Luffy's new bounty as 150,000,000. Brook later took a closer look at the poster and the group was then shocked to hear that Luffy's bounty actually increased to 1,500,000,000.
Wano Country Saga
Wano Country Arc
Infiltration In Wano Country
As the Thousand Sunny continued towards Wano Country, the group was informed of the Levely through a newspaper and Chopper was overjoyed to see Kureha on the newspaper. He even cut out parts of the newspaper to keep for himself. The group then encountered an unusual weather disturbance in their direction, followed by an octopus on their ship as well as a school of huge carp on their side. After a bumpy ride across a river, the ship climbed up a waterfall. Once they reached the top, they came across a whirlpool. Sanji carried Nami, Chopper, Carrot, and Brook away from the ship, but Luffy got dragged into the whirlpool along with the Sunny. After Luffy got separated, the group searched for him, but they only found his Vivre Card. They later got in touch with Kin'emon and they reunited with Luffy at the ruins of Oden Castle. With Law, Momonosuke, and Kiku also present, Kin'emon explained how he and his group traveled through time to escape Orochi's attack twenty years ago. Chopper then listened as Kin'emon explained more about the past such as the story of Oden, the time of his execution, the rumor about Toki, and what Kin'emon's group did right after arriving at present time. Kin'emon then went over a plan to attack Onigashima, the island where Kaidou resided, in two weeks. Kin'emon explained more about the Fire Festival and how the decisive battle would play out. He then gave the group specific tasks to do. He asked Chopper and Carrot to go with Kiku to Inuarashi's current location. After giving the group new clothes, he introduced them to Shinobu. When Kaidou arrived at Kuri, Law alerted the group. The group was surprised to see Kaidou and they learned that Luffy, Zoro, and Law were already exposed. Luffy rushed off to protect Okobore Town and Law chased after him and told the rest to remain unseen. After Kin'emon and Kiku left to rescue Tsuru, the rest at Oden Castle noticed Kaidou coming to their direction and tried to flee as Kaidou destroyed the castle with a fire breath. Shinobu saved the males of the group by using her Devil Fruit power to sink them into the ground while Sanji carried Carrot and Nami away. Kiku then returned and told them what happened to Luffy. Chopper was next seen in Tama's house at Amigasa Village tending to Tama. Chopper assured her that Luffy has incredible recovery speed and his will would not be broken and that Raizo was planning on rescuing him.
An Unexpected Visitor And Raid At Udon
Chopper, Tama, Kiku, and Momonosuke went to Kuri Beach, where they found Big Mom lying unconscious. Chopper panicked upon seeing her, and when she woke up, Chopper was surprised that she lost her memories. On the following morning, Chopper's group took Big Mom to Okobore Town. Though Chopper was worried about Big Mom regaining her memories, Tama insisted on taking her to Udon. Chopper then told Big Mom that she could find more food in that region, making her eager to go there. The group then traveled to Udon, with Big Mom having tamed a Wanizame to carry them there. On the way there, Big Mom soon started to get hungry, asking how far Udon was while hungrily eyeing Chopper, much to his discomfort. As Tama and Big Mom were talking about oshiruko, Chopper worried what would happen if Big Mom did not find any at Udon. After night fell, the group eventually arrived at Udon. On the next day, Chopper's group entered the Prisoner Mines after Big Mom broke through the front gate. Kiku informed Chopper that Queen was in charge of the prison and told him to proceed with caution. As Chopper and Kiku were sneaking in, they witnessed Big Mom attacking Queen. Chopper and Kiku were amazed to see Big Mom overpowering Queen. They then became worried for Luffy when he invoked Big Mom's wrath by admitting he ate the oshiruko that Big Mom was looking for. Chopper and Kiku were shocked when Big Mom sent Luffy and Hyougoro flying into a wall. After Queen left with a captured Big Mom, Kiku asked Chopper about rescuing her, but he had no intention of going after her and said that getting Luffy was more important. Chopper and Kiku then heard Kawamatsu's voice coming from a nearby cell. After Raizo freed Kawamatsu, Chopper joined up with Luffy and their allies. Chopper was surprised to learn that Kiku is actually a man. As Chopper and his allies fought against the Beasts Pirates, Chopper was angry that they used viruses as weapons. The group was then cornered by prisoners who were infected with the Mummy virus. Chopper was worried when Luffy made contact with the infected prisoners. After the prison takeover, Chopper worked on treating Luffy's condition and reprimanded Luffy for his recklessness. He also threw Momonosuke out of the room. Chopper successfully developed a cure for the Mummy virus and treated Luffy and all those infected.
Raid On Onigashima
Two days before the raid on Onigashima, Chopper returned to Amigasa Village with Luffy and Tama. Chopper was also given a new armor by Tenguyama Hitetsu. On the day of the Fire Festival, the Straw Hats sailed to Tokage Port on the Thousand Sunny to join the Scabbards and enter the battle with the Beasts Pirates. While Kanjuro fled to Onigashima with Momonosuke in tow, the Straw Hats learned that Kanjuro was a spy working for Orochi. As the alliance was attacked by a Beasts Pirates ship with long ranged cannons, the Straw Hats were overjoyed to see Jinbe arriving and joining the battle. With Jinbe officially part of the crew, the Straw Hats proceeded to take over the torii in front of Onigashima; however, Chopper, Nami and Usopp hid on the ship while the others fought. The crew then arrived at Onigashima with the rebels. After disembarking, Chopper received a Beasts Pirates disguise from Kin'emon. As the Straw Hats made their way into Kaidou's stronghold, Chopper traveled in the Brachio Tank V. The group in the tank and Kin'emon's forces reached the Pleasure Hall owned by Black Maria. After Nami, Carrot, and Shinobu volunteered to go look for Momonosuke, Chopper was later spotted by Big Mom when she was looking out of a window from one of the nearby buildings. Chopper and Usopp fired a shot at Big Mom with the tank's cannon before fleeing from her. The two managed to get away from Big Mom with minor injuries and the Brachio Tank V intact. Later upon hearing of Momonosuke's upcoming execution, the two decided to go and rescue him but accidentally enter the room with the Numbers. While still inside the tank, Chopper and Usopp were caught by Jaki, one of the Numbers, but they were later freed by Franky at the Live Stage, where upon exiting the tank, they rejoined the rest of the Straw Hats onstage. After Queen entered the fray, Chopper and Robin were alarmed when Queen used Excite Bullets on the rebels. Chopper, Robin, and Brook soon found themselves besieged by those infected by the Ice Oni virus. When Queen tossed the antidote to Apoo, Chopper told Zoro to take the antidote from him. When Chopper began working on analyzing the virus' distribution factors, he was horrified to learn from Robin that he too had been infected when his right arm began to freeze. Just as Zoro defeated Apoo and gave Chopper the antidote, Chopper finished his analysis and told everyone that exposing the victims to heat could prevent the spread of the virus. He also promised to produce enough antibodies for everyone. After Marco arrived, he used his flames to revert the effects of the Ice Oni, which also restored Chopper's arm back to normal. Once Tristan and Miyagi arrived, they began to work on mass-producing the antidote, while X Drake and the yakuza bosses volunteered to protect them as Queen ordered his men to steal back the antidote. Later, Chopper managed to finish mass-producing the antidote, Chopperphage. In the nick of time, he saved the infected Hyougoro when Yatappe was about to kill him. Chopper put the antidote in Hyougoro's mouth and cured him. Miyagi and Tristan came in and distributed the antidote with a cannon, curing all the infected. Chopper then explained to Queen how he was able to mass-produce the cure. When Queen angrily asked why he bothered to cure his subordinates, Chopper said that viruses were not meant to be weaponized, as even the user would lose control. Queen refused to be lectured by Chopper and tried to kill him, but the Pleasures used themselves as shields for him. Marco took this opportunity to grab Queen by the neck, giving Chopper an opening to strike. Chopper thanked Marco and took a Rumble Ball, changing into his Monster Point form. He then struck Queen while also yelling to everyone present that he is not a "Tanuki", which they had been calling him constantly. However, as the battle continued, even though he had extended the duration of the effect of Rumble Balls to 30 minutes, and despite landing several strong blows on Queen, it is clear that the Plague was just playing with the reindeer. Furthermore, Charlotte Perospero joined the battlefield in support of Queen, raining a shower of Candy arrows all over the battlefield, which worsened the situation for the Alliance. Chopper's motivation took a dip when the news about Luffy's defeat and apparent death was broadcasted via the Marys. At this point Queen came in for a fatal strike on the depressed reindeer, while Perospero unleashed another arrow rain. Suddenly Sanji appeared and kicked the Brachiosaurus zoan, sending Queen spinning which simultaneously knocked away the arrows as well as Peresporo with its gigantic body. Sanji praised Chopper for holding out against the All-Star before telling him to stop crying for Luffy, reminding the reindeers of all their captain's miracles. He then casually chucking the heavily wounded Zoro to Chopper for the doctor to attend to. When Momonosuke used the Marys to announce Luffy's message, Chopper was immensely relieved, now crying tears of joy. Chopper transformed into a new Babyjiji form due to the side effects of the improved Rumble Ball, which turned his body into an infant hybrid form, while he starts talking like an old man. Having learnt that Miyagi possessed a super recovery medicine that would instantly heal a person, he is quite surprised, though the goat Mink cautioned that there would be powerful side effects. Chopper then observed as the Mink injected the shot into Zoro, a fact Chopper would later share with Sanji when Sanji advised Chopper to flee if the medicine should not work to which Chopper replied it was just taking longer due to Zoro's condition. Together with the two Minks, Chopper witnessed Zoro and Sanji engaging in fierce combat with King and Queen and after the duo split to fight their separate battles, was very nervous when he saw Queen being able to crush Sanji's bones with his Brachiojaurus technique, but was even more stunned when Sanji was able to walk away with a body full of broken bones, before mending said broken bones in a matter of moments. Chopper was again shocked when Sanji's face broke Queen's sword leaving Chopper surprised that Sanji survived this attack. Eventually, the side effects of the Rumble Ball would fade, turning Chopper back into his normal form. Chopper had, however, concerns about Zoro's well being, as he was worried that, if Zoro won his fight, the medicine he was given earlier would double the damage he would receive from his fight with King, worrying that Zoro might die from the fight and the medicine. Unknown to him, Luffy lost his fight against Kaidou and when Kaidou descended to the castle declaring he killed Luffy, Chopper started to cry hearing these words. He was later in tears and in shock when he witnessed Luffy's gigantic arm descending from the ceiling and pulling Kaidou back to the rooftop. As the island was burning, Chopper reunited with Nami and told her that he can't find the rest of the crew with Nami replying that with the giant fire, they can't go anywhere. Chopper asked Zeus if he could use his rain to put out the fire, but Zeus responds that he would only get himself burned. Later, as Onigashima grew unstable, Chopper, alongside everyone else, tumbled throughout the Live Floor of the Skull Dome. After the Raid on Onigashima ended, Usopp brought the unconscious Kin'emon and Kikunojo, alongside Franky who brought Zoro to Chopper for treatment. Miyagi and Tristan reported to Chopper that several others needed his attention, which prompted Chopper to ask for help with. Chopper then treated Luffy's and Zoro's injuries.
A New Dawn In Wano Country
A week later, Chopper and with most of the crew gathered in the shogun's castle. After Luffy and Zoro woke up, Chopper jumped onto Zoro's head. Later, Chopper joined the men's bath. He later joined Yamato and Luffy at the second festival, having fun and eating, and cheered when the alliance celebrated their victory. A few days later, Chopper was with the rest of crew when Robin explained her discovery of the Poneglyph and of Pluton being in Wano. A couple of days later, the crew left the castle in the middle of the night and by morning were prepared to leave from Tokage Port, only to be met by Yamato and an angry Momonosuke and Kin'emon, who were upset that nobody had given them a proper goodbye. As the two tearfully thanked the crew for everything and finally said there goodbyes, Nami planned for the crew to go to Mogura Port so they could leave safely, which pleased Chopper. However, after being taunted by Kid for playing it safe, Luffy forced the ship to go over the waterfall again, much to everyone's frustration. After a rough landing, the crew began to sail away from Wano.
Final Saga
Egghead Arc
Days after leaving Wano, an angry Nami locked Luffy in a cage as punishment for endangering the crew again. When Jinbe tried to get her to go easier on him, she scolded Jinbe, and Chopper warned Jinbe not to mess with Nami when she is angry. As Robin read out their new bounties and status in the world, Chopper was upset about his bounty, but Robin made him feel better by giving him some cotton candy. Chopper became upset again when he heard the news about the Levely, including Vivi's disappearance and Sabo's assassination of Cobra. Chopper immediately wanted to go rescue Vivi along with everyone else, and was very upset when Zoro tried to talk all of them out of it due to the danger of doing so, with all of them childishly stating that they were still allowed to be worried about her. Despite hearing the news, Luffy was convinced of his brother's innocence, and told everyone about the promise he, Sabo, and Ace had made as children, even stating the ultimate goal of their dream, which shocked everyone. After hearing that, Chopper smiled in amazement at what Luffy had said, while Sanji laughed and asked Chopper to check Luffy's head. A few days later, the group experienced harsh weather, at which point they discovered a massive column of water in the air, which Nami claimed was a warm eddy that was being pushed upward. As the others began to notice someone was trapped in the eddy, Chopper came out of the cabin and was immediately blown away by the strong winds. As Luffy tried to grab Chopper and pull him back, he was blown away with him into the ocean, alongside the girl who was freed from the eddy by Zoro. As this happened, Jinbe went after them, and ship was attacked while he rescued them, leading to Jinbe taking them all ahead to the island. As the group reached a cave and dried themselves off, the girl began to grow into a young woman and then introduced herself as Jewelry Bonney. After telling all three of them that the island they were on was called Egghead, she explained that she had come alone without her crew to find Dr. Vegapunk and get him to undo what he had done to her father, which surprised them. After reaching the island's surface, they stopped and were amazed by the island's futuristic look, with Bonney and Chopper trying to eat a dessert that they had found. When they all failed to touch the objects, Jinbe realized that they were holograms, to the annoyance of the others. As Jinbe began questioning why the island's weather was so different from the outside, Atlas arrived and began explaining why. When Luffy touched her to see whether she was another hologram, she angrily punched him away, right into a machine that produces food. As Luffy, Bonney and Chopper began stuffing their faces, Jinbe asked her who she is, and she introduced herself as Dr. Vegapunk, specially Vegapunk #5, Atlas, which shocked and confused the others. As the three finish stuffing themselves, Atlas leaves to finish her work, and then more people begin to suddenly appear, with a confused Chopper wondering were they all came from. When Luffy finds a machine that gives him new clothes, Chopper and the others try it for themselves. As Bonney prepares to leave the three of them, Luffy tells them that Bartholomew Kuma is coming. As Luffy prepares to fight the Pacifista, he is stopped by Bonney, tearfully tells them that Kuma is her father and begs them not to hurt him. As Luffy tries to tell her that it's not the real Kuma, the Pacifista fires a laser at them, causing an explosion. They avoid the blast and then manage to allude the Pacifista, due to Bonney's abilities, and eventually end up at a junkyard. There, Jinbe and Luffy explain the situation to Bonney, and Chopper, feeling bad for her, explains that they have their own bad history with Pacifistas. Jinbe then goes on to tell Bonney and the others everything he knows about Kuma, wondering what the tyrant did to end up as a cyborg. An angry Bonney defends her father, telling them that everything about him being a tyrant is false, and that he was forced into his current situation because he's a part of special race and the government just wanted to use him. She then picks up a beam saber and turns everyone back to their normal ages. The group goes deeper into the junkyard and finds a giant, ancient rusted robot. As Chopper and Luffy try to get it to work, they hear someone in the junk ask for help, and Luffy pulls an elderly man out, who turns out to be Dr. Vegapunk. Vegapunk thanks them and begins telling them all about himself, and his Nomi Nomi no Mi power, and how his head and brain are constantly growing to the point that he had to cut parts of it off, which shocked Chopper. Chopper then listened to Vegapunk explaining that he took the removed part of his brain and turned it into a knowledge repository known as Punk Records. As Chopper listened in amazement at Vegapunk's dreams and achievements, he was interrupted by an angry Bonney, who held the beam saber to his head and demanded that he turn Kuma back to normal or else she’ll kill him. However, the weapon Bonney tries to use on Vegapunk ends up being defective, attracting a large number of insects, which shocks Bonney into unconsciousness. As Chopper checks on her, Vegapunk talks to Luffy about one of his old inventions, and then asks him if he'd help him escape from Egghead. As Vegapunk tries to explain why he needs to leave and he and Jinbe discuss the matter further, the group becomes aware of CP0's arrival to the island. Running out of time, he asks Luffy again for help, to which he agrees. A thankful Vegapunk tells the Straw hats where to go, and asks them to bring Bonney along, before teleporting away, which surprises Chopper and Luffy. As they head to the lab with Bonney, the group runs into CP0, with Luffy and Rob Lucci staring each other down. Despite Chopper's protest, Luffy sees an injured Atlas and decides to help her, leading to another fight with Lucci, causing Chopper to run off with Bonney and Jinbe to carry Atlas to safety. As the fighting continues, Sentomaru and the Seraphim arrives to the scene, with Chopper and Jinbe realizing that they are clones of the ex-Warlords, however, instead of helping Lucci, Sentomaru orders the Seraphim to help the Straw Hats into the lab and to hold off the government agents, leading to Lucci striking down Sentomaru to take control of the seraphim. Despite this, Luffy still overwhelms Lucci, and Sentomaru regains consciousness long enough for the Seraphim to finish helping Luffy's group to the Labophase. After entering the lab, and leaving Atlas for repairs, Bonney, now awake, goes off after Vegapunk again. As Chopper and Luffy try to find her and stop her they met up with the others, who tell them that not only is she not there but nether is Vegapunk; and then they all watch as CP0 and the Seraphim reach the labophase and try to attack it. However, they are stopped by Zoro and Brook, who end up receiving help from one of the agents, Stussy, who turns out to be Vegapunk's spy. As CP0 is taken out, and the Seraphim are neutralized, the groups reunite as Shaka informs everyone that the main Vegapunk is still missing, and that the building is on lockdown. As everyone splits up to find Vegapunk (except for Luffy and Zoro who stay behind to watch Lucci and Kaku), Robin and Chopper are paired up with Atlas, who takes them looking on a floor filled with machines producing artificial organs for medical purposes. When the other groups are attacked by the Seraphim, Robin noticed the seraphim might be on the loose again and might be trying to stop the search for Vegapunk by killing everyone. After hearing this, Atlas then suggested that she might know where Vegapunk could be, with Robin and Chopper following her to the location. Afterwards Chopper regrouped with Vegapunk and the rest of the crew and went to eat Sanji's food. Chopper tended to Robin's injuries, getting flustered as usual from her compliments. Later, Chopper, Nami, and Usopp attempted to leave the Labophase while carriying Robin in a pod with them. When Sanji informed them of the incoming Buster Call, Chopper panicked, but continuing to treat Robin. Shortly after Chopper spotted the Giant Warrior Pirates, namely Oimo and Kashii and was happy to see the two again. Afterward, Chopper and the others caught wind of Vegapunk's pre recorded message being signaled across the island, questioning where came from and why it started now. The group discussed how they could cover the distance needed to avoid crashing sunny to land on sea, shortly after, Jaygarcia Saturn climbed to the crews location to Chopper's shock. Upon arriving in the Labophase, Saturn instantly recognized Robin, and moved to kill her. On Nami's order, the Straw Hats jumped to her defense as Saturn attempted to attack. Chopper and The Straw Hats were brushed aside by Saturn, but the others were caught in Robins Spider Net while Chopper remained in Guard Point. After Saturn left, Nami pointed out to the group that the clouds they were on begun to extend with Brook and Usopp realizing that it was done by Edison so their ship could reach the sea. Chopper noticed that the cloud's ceased extending, leaving enough room for the ship to land but was quickly horrified when the Elder Nusjuro caught up to their location. While Atlas sacrificed herself to hold off Nusjuro, Chopper clung to Jinbe as they blasted off. As the Sunny landed safely in the sea, the crew recovered, Chopper and a happy Usopp reunited with Dorry and Brogy. The crew then sailed away from Egghead alongside the Giant Warrior Pirates, setting course for Elbaf, where Chopper climbed onto Brogy's beard in celebration.
Elbaph Arc
Two days later, Chopper, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, and the Thousand Sunny would all go missing, to the horror of everyone on the Giant's ship. The reason for their strange arrival was due to Muginn plucking them from the ocean and bringing them to his master, Road, a member of the New Giant Warrior Pirates. Road was outraged to see the Straw Hats, due to his captain proclaiming to now be loyal to Luffy. As a result, Road kept the Straw Hats asleep and placed all but Chopper into the Land of Gods as a test. Chopper would be found by his crewmates, still trapped in the diorama of the Sun God(a false identity taken by Road). As a result of their trespassing, the crew got into a short conflict with the "guardians" protecting the "temple". The Straw Hats easily dispatched the large animals. Eventually, the Sun God made their appearance, outraged that the Straw Hats were damaging their work and harming their "guardians". A chase followed, with the Straw Hats hitching a ride on the cat they had beaten earlier while the Sun God proclaimed they wouldn't escape. The Straw Hats continued to make their way through the Land of Gods atop Iscat while the Sun God attempted to capture them using a large net. Zoro and Sanji easily broke out of the net, while Usopp attempted to shoot through the wall on the opposite side of the diorama. Due to the wall's thickness, he was unable to break it, prompting Luffy to try his hand at it. While Nami knocked out the Sun God using Zeus, Luffy used Gear 4 to shatter the wall, allowing the Straw Hats to make their getaway. While heading outside, Chopper and his crewmates barely managed to avoid an encounter with Goldberg, Gerd, and her pet, Piper. After the giants passed by, the Straw Hats proceeded down a massive bridge that connected Road's castle to the upper levels of Elbaph, but stopped when Luffy sensed a strange presence. Deciding that the presence was more important than their current task, Luffy leaped off the bridge down into the wilderness of Elbaph below. Zoro attempted to head down with him, but was held back by Sanji. Moments later, the bridge began to shake. Usopp used a pair of binoculars to spot Road running down the bridge, attempting to get away from Goldberg and Gerd as they carried the Sunny. As the Straw Hats realized that Road was really the "Sun God" who had kidnapped them, Zoro suggested cutting all of the giants down. Usopp promptly refused his suggestion on the grounds that they could be allies. Sanji took the lead, remarking that they were almost to a village, and that running was their best bet. The Straw Hats later arrived in the Sun World, where they continued to evade Road. They eventually set a trap, with Nami and Chopper standing in as bait. Road eventually fell for it, leading to him being dealt a blow to the head by Sanji and Zoro. Moments later, Gerd and Goldberg made their arrival and promptly knocked Road completely unconscious. After introductions were made, Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper ran ahead to the village, while Sanji, Zoro, and Nami, were given a ride by Gerd. Alongside most of his crew, Chopper was mesmerized by the sight of the village. Upon the arrival of the rest of the Straw Hats, Chopper was shocked to see them arriving on a rainbow. In addition to the Straw Hats and Giant Warrior Pirates arriving, the remaining two members of the New Giant Warrior Pirates arrived as well, prompting a short meeting with Hajrudin. Although a feast was declared by Hajrudin, the Straw Hats decided that a reunion between Robin and Jaguar D. Saul was the priority for the moment, and took off in a Svarr piloted by Gerd. Upon arrival at the Warrior's Spring, Chopper was horrified to see Saul collapsed on the ground, and quickly offered his services to the giant. However, the apparent injury was simply a way of greeting Robin after so long, and after the two embraced, Chopper, as well as most of the other Straw Hats, burst into tears from the sight. After the reunion, Robin introduces Saul to Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats, with Saul and Luffy thanking one another for taking care of Robin, and Robin happily declaring that they all would protect her, causing everyone to brake into tears again. Afterwards, Saul's assistant Ange, introduced herself and gave the Straw Hats a tour of the Walrus School. Meanwhile, Saul took Robin, Chopper, Lilith, and Bonney to the Owl Library. Once there, Saul revealed that many of the books in the library were actually saved from Ohara. Saul then introduced the group to Biblo, the librarian owl, who had been present for centuries. Saul explained that Biblo caused any book that entered the vicinity to grow, which Lilith recalled being an ability of the Iku Iku no Mi. While most of the crew left to rejoin the banquet, Robin and Chopper decided to remain with Saul, in order to further study the literature present. Sometime later, Saul showed Robin and Chopper the Harley, a book about the myths and legends of Elbaph, including Nika. Saul mentioned that as a result of its age, the book had many separate interpretations, and asked Robin to read from it. Chopper happily listened as Robin did so. Later that day, Robin and Chopper joined Saul as he attempted to defend the schoolchildren from a "monster". While doing so, they discovered Wolf, the gym teacher, severely injured. Wolf subsequently warned them not to touch the children. Greatly confused, they all watched as many of the giant children began to sleepwalk away from the school. Concerned, Chopper demanded to be put down, so that he would be able to perform medical examinations on them. Moments later, more of the children began to collapse, and they all stood shocked as massive constructs of the children's fears began to manifest from the nearby forest. Immediately afterward, Saul chased the sleepwalking children out of the school. Robin attempted to remind Saul of Wolf's warning, but Saul disregarded it, and proceeded to try to grab Ylva. Saul's attempt was quickly thwarted as invisible thorns around Ylva stabbed his hand, causing him to collapse in pain as Robin and Chopper worried for him. Unwilling to give up, Saul equipped himself with a pair of shields, with the plan of simply blocking the children from moving forward without actually touching them. Robin and Chopper wished him luck, however upon being stopped by the shields, the children walked into each other, causing the thorns around each of them to begin pricking them. As Saul aborted his plan, Robin and Chopper suggested hunting down the user of the devil fruit, but Saul reminded her that nearby flames (that had been started by Loki), would soon enter the children's path, meaning he had to stop them as soon as possible. Making another attempt, Saul equipped a nearby rope, which he used to lasso one of the children at the back. The plan seemed to work, until a MMA of Fenrir appeared, forcing the trio into a fight. Saul was able to defeat the MMA, however the resulting delay allowed the children to make their way directly into the fire. Saul begged the nearby firefighters to stop the flames, although they were having trouble doing so. Fortunately, a last-moment save by Jinbe extinguished the flames just in time, giving relief to all. Unfortunately, like before, the relief was only short-lived, as Shepherd Sommers, the user of the devil fruit, descended to fight Saul. The fight was over very quickly, with Saul unable to compete with the power of a God's Knight. Before he collapsed, he told Robin and Chopper remain hidden in his hair, so as to not face the same fate. Although Sommers nearly became aware of Robin and Chopper's positioning, his colleagues ended up drawing his attention away. Sommers went on to issue a threat to the entirety of Elbaph: join the World Government, or the children they had taken hostage would be killed. Sommers informed the giants that if they wished to accept his proposition, they would have to burn down the Walrus School and Owl Library, as a twisted way of returning to their warrior roots. Chopper, still terrified of Sommers' threat, begged Robin not to do anything drastic. However, his pleas fell on deaf ears as she prepared to fight back. Robin was unable to defeat Sommers, although a quick save by Scopper Gaban prevented the deaths of her and her crewmates. The nature of the attack Gaban used- which left the immortal Sommers wounded- was of particular interest to Chopper. After Gaban left Sommers defeated, Chopper quickly transformed into Walk Point and chased off after him, intent on discovering how he was able to damage immortal individuals. When Gaban fell off the branch after getting wounded by Gunko, Chopper jumped off after him. As he fell, Chopper began to panic as he quickly realized just how high up he was. Regaining his nerve, he managed to make himself fall faster than Gaban, before entering Guard Point, allowing the two to land harmlessly in Elbaph's Underworld. Soon after, he did his best to patch up Gaban, applying bandages to stop the bleeding. Fortunately, his descent was spotted by his allies, who made their way over to retrieve the pair. Arriving back to the group's camp, Chopper remembered what he'd seen above, and tried to warn everyone of the impending danger. With remarkable timing, a blast of Haki from Imu appeared at just that moment, giving credence to his warning. With little time to spare, the New Giant Warrior Pirates got to work on preparing transport back up to the Sun World. Unable to leave the wounded Gaban alone, Chopper stayed behind in order to monitor his condition. At the same time, an argument broke out between Loki and Hajurdin on whether or not bringing the latter was necessary, leading to Gaban intervening on behalf of Loki. Gaban mentioned that Loki may not be as guilty as the official story said, due to a strange Haki he had sensed on the day he had allegedly killed his father, Harald. With no other option, Loki begrudgingly began to explain his half of the story as everyone listened intently.

Choppers Kingdom On The Island Of Strange Animals
Following a lead from an old treasure map, the Straw Hats set sail for O-Kan Island, with everyone ready for a new adventure; except Chopper, who worries over every possible danger. While the others tease Chopper, the Going Merry suddenly begins shaking. Rushing above-deck, the Straw Hats find the sea erupting with dozens of massive geysers, one of which directly strikes the Merry and launches it high into the air. In midair, the crew can see the entirety of the island, and the crown-like ring of steam its surrounding geysers produce, but then the ship starts to fall and crash land on the island, accidentally Knocking Chopper off the ship in the process. As Chopper is falling from the ship, he tries to grab onto the crow's nest, and he only succeeds in tearing off the Straw Hats' flag before vanishing into the island's forests. As he stumbles through the forest, he eventually ends up falling from the edge of a nearby cliff, and as he lands in the center of a mysterious circle, he screams in pain, which all of the nearby intelligent animals mistake as the cry of the king of the beasts. As they gather around Chopper, they all crown him as the new King of the Beasts, including Mobanby, the only human resident of the island, and his best friend, Karasuke, who tell Chopper that he is now the next king after the death of the previous king, the Kirin Lion. The animals cheered, as Chopper was heaped under royal regalia (with the torn flag serving as a cape). Chopper tries to protest, but falters when faced with Mobanby's overjoyed praises – and pleas to help the island's injured, to which Chopper as a doctor, agrees to help with. As Chopper tends to the island's injured with Mobanby, he still insists on returning to the Straw Hats. On learning that the Straw Hats are pirates, Mobanby furiously begs Chopper to stay with "his people" as king; as a stunned Chopper listens to Mobanby recounting how his father, a naturalist, had been killed by a pirate years ago. Mobanby himself was forced to watch, and had survived just long enough to run aground on O-Kan Island, where – with only the wreck and a locket photograph to remember his father by, he was adopted and raised by the Kirin Lion. Despite feeling bad about Mobanby's past, Chopper still wanted to return to his friends, and simply continued to treat the injured while wondering where the others were. Later, Mobanby and his friends hearing about possible invaders on the island, and they call on Chopper to fend off the approaching "invaders"; much to Chopper's dismay. At Mobanby's pleading, Chopper steels himself and tries to stand his ground, but nevertheless loses his nerve at the last second. An instant later, however, he is relieved to find the "invaders" are none other than his crewmates who had heard about the king of the beasts and were led to the mountain by a Bald Parrot. The Straw Hats are surprised to find out that Chopper is the new king. Chopper tells the animals that the Straw Hats are safe, and so he leads the Straw Hats over to a great feast so they can eat together. Mobanby demands what's so great about the Straw Hats, and when the animals hear that they are pirates and when Luffy asked for meat, the animals flee in terror thinking Luffy is going to eat them. Nami asks Karasuke about the treasure of O-Kan Island, but Usopp says that they should just grab Chopper and leave. At that moment, there is a large blast, and so the Straw Hats and the strange animals run to see what it is. They then see that it is the true invaders of the island, a man named Battler and his men, Heaby and Hotdog, along with an army of Horn Eaters, the island's armored predators. Battler states that the power he is looking for is in the horns of the King of the Beasts. Battler demands that they tell him where the king is and starts playing his violin, so the Horn Eaters start charging. An angry Chopper leaps down and lands in front of Battler declaring himself as the King. Battler stops playing the violin, unconvinced by Chopper's words. Chopper tells him to stop attacking the animals and to call off the Horn Eaters, but Battler says he will only if Chopper beats him. Meanwhile, Sanji, Luffy, and Zoro are stuck behind a passageway, and Usopp and Nami fail to help Chopper fend Battler and Horn Eaters off. Desperate, Chopper then charges at the Horn Eaters, then turns to run, leading them away from the strange animals at the cliff above. He then runs off into the woods, with the Horn Eaters giving chase, as Luffy, Sanji and Zoro are finally free from the passage. With Sanji and Zoro going ahead to help, Luffy and the others console Mobanby and the animals, before going off to help Chopper as well. Chopper shifts between his three Points to flee from the Horn Eaters, but sees that they are quickly catching up, with Battler, Hotdog, and Heaby on their backs. Unfortunately for him, Chopper comes to a dead end and thinks about Hiriluk, then turns and finds Battler, Hotdog, and Heaby right behind him. As Hotdog punches Chopper, sending him flying, Chopper gets back up and runs towards him. Heaby then swings his chain sword at Chopper, but Chopper narrowly avoids each swing. As Sanji arrives and interrupts the two, he separates Chopper from Heaby and allows him to continue running. As he tries to run, Zoro also arrives, picking up Chopper, but when Hotdog attacks Chopper is sent flying again. Zoro stands up to Hotdog and tells Chopper to run for it, but as Chopper starts to run, Battler lands on him and grabs his horns. Luffy then bursts onto the scene, sending Battler flying with a Gomu Gomu no Rocket, as Usopp and Nami arrive as well to help Chopper with the Horn Eaters. As Usopp and Chopper continue to run from the Horn Eaters, Nami calls to them from ahead. Usopp sees that Chopper is becoming tired, so he kicks Chopper to safety, as he and Nami decide to deal with Horn Eaters as Chopper escapes. With Sanji and Zoro dealing with Battlers men and Usopp and Nami dealing with the Horn Eaters, Luffy looks for Chopper, wondering where he went. As Chopper continues to go on the run, he is once again found by Battler, who begins to beat Chopper. As he knocks Chopper down, he is about to end it when Mobanby arrives, holding up the golden horn of the Kirin Lion. Mobanby runs, luring Battler away. Mobanby leaps across a chasm with a lava pit at the bottom, him and Battler plummeting into it. Karasuke dives down and catches Mobanby, flying upward, but Battler fires his chain weapon and wraps it around Karasuke's leg. Karasuke cannot support the weight, and all three of them fall toward the lava below, with Luffy showing up and saving them all by stretching out his arm and pulling them back up. Unfortunately, by the time Luffy finishes pulling them all up, Battler has managed to get the golden horns and devour them, becoming a giant golden beast with fiery horns on his head. As Battler turns into a beast, Luffy leaps with a Gomu Gomu no Pistol, but is struck down. Battler leaps through the air and plows down toward him, sending Luffy flying back. Battler proceeds to take several vicious swings at Luffy, with Luffy barely able to keep up. Battler then gores Luffy with his horns, then sends Luffy flying, who barely manages to cling onto the edge of the cliff. Battler demands to know why Luffy continues to fight, and Luffy replies that it is for Chopper. Luffy's handhold crumbles, and he plummets down to the chasm below, causing Battler to laugh. As this happens, Chopper takes a piece of paper out of his hat, looking at a picture of Hiriluk's pirate flag. Chopper stands up to Battler, telling Battler that he will not forgive him, but Battler laughs it off. Chopper shifts to Heavy Point, then eats a Rumble Ball and begins battle with Battler. As Battler takes several hard swings at Chopper, Chopper shifts into Jumping Point and avoids them all. When he is struck, Chopper shifts to Guard Point, not taking a scratch. He then switches to Arm Point and uses Kokutei Roseo, striking Battler between the eyes. Battler is unaffected and slams Chopper to the ground, who returns to Brain Point. Suddenly, Mobanby jumps into action and starts hitting Battler, but Battler tosses him away. Chopper is struck down as well, and Mobanby runs to Chopper, trying to help him up. After the revelation that Battler was responsible for the death of Mobanby's father, the two tried harder to fight against Battler, but were still struck down. Suddenly, there is a great rumbling, and all the animals from all over the island come charging toward the site of the battle. Battler strikes the ground with his horns, cracking it up so the animals cannot reach him. As Chopper, Mobanby, and several of the animals stand their ground against Battler, an angry Luffy rises, and lands a blow to Battler's face. Luffy then uses Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun to strike Battler repeatedly in the chest, but Battler declares that it is no use. Luffy grabs Battler by the horns, lifting the great beast above his head, and smashes the horns in his hands. Battler quickly starts becoming a human again, and Luffy uses Gomu Gomu no Bazooka, sending Battler flying off into the distance, defeated at last. With this, everyone cheers, and Mobanby thanks Luffy, but then starts to worry that he be exiled from the island for taking the golden horn. However, everyone called him a hero, and placed the King's crown upon his head. Despite Mobanby asking Chopper to stay, Chopper states that he is a pirate, then suddenly, there are more underwater eruptions, and a great bell begins to ring as the wind blows. The smoke around the island suddenly takes the shape of a golden crown, and the animals are shocked, declaring that the prophecy has come true, and that the heavens have acknowledged Mobanby as the new King. As Mobanby and Chopper say their tearful goodbyes, the next day the Straw Hats talk about the great party they had after the defeat of Battler. As they head toward their next adventure, Usopp jokes with Chopper about possibly seeing some monsters next, and Luffy happily yells that they will just keep moving, full steam ahead.

Episode Of Arabasta The Desert Princess And The Pirates
Vivi wakes up on the Going Merry to find Luffy and Usopp fishing with Karoo as bait, and she punishes them by bashing their heads together. They pull up a mysterious okama, who appears extremely grateful to be saved by pirates he does not know. The man reveals that he cannot swim because he ate the Mane Mane no Mi, which allows him to change himself into anyone he has touched the face of. He adds that he can also remember these faces, which allows him to take on the faces of those he touched before, showing several faces to the crew, one of which is Vivi's father Cobra, the king of Arabasta Kingdom. The man then leaves as his crew arrives to pick him up, declaring the Straw Hats his friends despite not knowing them for long. As he leaves, he is called Mr. 2 Bon Kurei by his crew. When Vivi realizes that the man was a member of Baroque Works and that he could turn into her father, she reveals that Arabasta is in a drought, and her father, King Nefertari Cobra had been framed for using Dance Powder, which forces rain onto the region it is used on at the expense of places downwind, for the capital. She states that the leader of Baroque Works is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who is considered a hero in Arabasta for protecting the nation from pirates. In order to prove their identity should Mr. 2 transform into any of them, the crew each draw an X on their wrists and covers it with a bandage, which they will take off to prove their identity. The crew reach Yuba, a ghost town that had once been a prosperous oasis before sandstorms ravaged it, causing many of the people to join the rebellion. They encounter an old man named Toto, who is the father of the rebellion's leader, Koza, a childhood friend of Vivi's. As the sun rises, Toto gives Luffy some of the water he dug up. During their travel, Luffy declares that he quits, saying that even if the rebels stop, the threat will continue as long as Crocodile is alive. He adds that Vivi is naïve to think that they can prevent everyone from dying in the battle, and he urges her to, rather than risk only her life, let them help her, which she agrees to. After this, the crew befriend a camel named Matsuge, and they begin to ride his Crab friend, Hasami. Vivi then thanks Luffy for helping her see the truth, and promises him a feast after they save the kingdom. Crocodile ambushes them almost immediately, using his Suna Suna no Mi abilities to reach and capture Vivi. Pell then shows up and attacks Crocodile and while he fails to injure him, manages to make him let go of Vivi. Crocodile's assistant, Miss All-Sunday uses her powers to ground Pell, then uses Clutch to severely wound him. Luffy intervenes, stretching out and throwing Vivi atop Hasami, staying behind to fight Crocodile. As the rest of the crew go on to Alubarna without Luffy, Baroque Works' Officer Agents lie in wait, but the crew splits up as decoys for Vivi, allowing her to escape and try to stop the rebellion. Usopp and Chopper end up fighting together against Mr. 4, his dog Lassoo and his partner Miss Merry Christmas. Usopp and Chopper have difficulty dealing with Mr. 4 and his exploding baseballs, and the Officer Agents tell them that Luffy has been killed by Crocodile. Despite being heavily wounded after being struck by Mr. 4's four-ton bat, Usopp manages to trick Mr. 4 into hitting Miss Merry Christmas with his bat, then hits him with a hammer fired from a slingshot attached to Chopper's antlers. The two are knocked away from the fight by an exploding baseball detonating nearby, ending the battle. After Luffy and Pell save Vivi, the rest of the crew get to regroup, and they attempt to retrace Crocodile's steps to find a bomb he placed in the city that will take everyone out, while Pell searches from the air. They discovers its location in the clock tower and is guarded by Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day, who shoot Pell from the sky. The crew are left with less than one minute, and they work together to launch Vivi into the clock tower, where she easily defeats Mr. 7 and Miss Father's Day and cuts the fuse, only to discover that it's a time bomb and cannot be disarmed. Pell, however, shows at the last minute and carries the bomb high above Alubarna, sacrificing himself in the process. As the crew watch Vivi try to stop the fighting, the then see Crocodile fly through the sky and lands in the main square, defeated, knowing that their captain has won. As the fighting finally stops, Cobra then brings Luffy to his crew, meeting them for the first time. The crew then collapse from their injuries and rest in the palace as Vivi stays up, watching the rain. Three days later, Luffy awakens from his coma, and the crew enjoys a feast for helping save the kingdom. As the eat, Chaka then arrives, informing them that Marine ships have come for the Straw Hats. Nami tells Vivi that she can come with them if she wants, and if she does, she must come to the shore at noon the next day. That night, Vivi wonders if she can truly continue her journey with the Straw Hats. The next day, Vivi, who is supposed to be giving a speech at the palace, instead proceeds to the shore, where the Straw Hats are waiting, initially believe that she would not come. She tells the Straw Hats that she can no longer travel with them, but asks if they will consider her a friend if they meet again. Luffy is about to say yes, but Nami tells him that her being associated with them will make her a criminal, and as they sail away on the Going Merry, the crew says goodbye by showing her the marks on their arms, while Vivi and Karoo does the same, happily saying their goodbyes.
Sky Island Saga
Goat Island Arc
While being chased by the Marines, led by Moore and Minchey, Luffy and his crew get lost in the fog and discover an uncharted island. They find that the island is inhabited only by an old man named Zenny and a multitude of goats. They also find a partially constructed ship on the top of the island. Because of his bad heart, Zenny probably only has three days to live. Hoping to make his last days good ones, the Straw Hat Pirates help him out and they learn about Zenny's past as a money lender and his dream of becoming a pirate and forming his own crew. But realizing that Zenny has outlived Chopper's predictions the Straw Hats decide that after helping him finish his pirate ship, they will leave the island. The Straw Hat Pirates help the old man out while hiding from the Marines and working to get his ship into the water. With Luffy's help, Zenny and his goats were able to attack the Marines. The Straw Hat pirates then went forth to help him. They defeated Minchey and tied him up. Luffy, then, threw Minchey back on Captain Moore's ship, and Captain Moore allowed them to choose their battle location. Zenny decides to follow his dream and become a pirate, despite his age and they part ways. Luffy, then, pointed to the Marines a foggy area for battle location, which caused Captain Moore's ships to land in a shipwreck due to the rocks.
Ruluka Island Arc
The Straw Hats are being chased by a small fleet of Marine ships led by Major Rapanui Pasqua and Isoka. The crew barely escape when the Major accidentally sinks one of his own ships. The crew then make their way towards an island named Ruluka. After making landfall, they soon meet Flip, the leader of the Collection Party, a group who collect taxes from the people of Ruluka. He is also the son of the island's mayor, Wetton, who used to be a pirate, and is currently over taxing the people to build the Rainbow Tower. Wetton hires a professor named Henzo to build the tower, and to research a phenomenon called the Rainbow Mist which is located in a ship's graveyard known as the Ape's Concert. As the straw hats eventually meet Henzo, he explains the Rainbow Mist to them, they then hear two townspeople rushing to the harbor to see a galleon and they rush there as well. Some of the mist begins to arrive as Henzo rushes to the galleon, that he recognizes as the Tarielishin on his small boat. When the mist begins to reach the island, Henzo borrows the Going Merry, with Luffy, Usopp, Robin, and a sleeping Zoro on the ship, into the mist. The inside of the Mist is full of wrecked ships and treasure, and is guarded by a group of kids calling themselves the Pumpkin Pirates. As the rest of the crew end up going to the mist, Nami, Sanji, and Chopper are held up by the grandson of the town’s mayor, Lake over not paying the towns Harbor Taxes. A coin hits Lake in the head knocking him over. He asks Sanji if he was the one that threw the coin at him so Sanji, Nami, and Chopper decide to lie and say it was. Lake picks up the coin and takes that as a payment for the tax to dock their ship in the towns harbor and formally welcomes them to the town. They proceed to the harbor looking for the rest of the crew. Lake tells them that The Going Merry was last seen heading towards Ape’s Concert beyond a strange mist in the ocean where a ship graveyard is. He tells them that the mayor has announced all the shipwrecks there have untouched cargo just laying around with jewels and coins and tells them Henzo is employed by the government to research how to safely enter the Ape’s Concert and use the Rainbow Tower as a bridge between the island and the Shipwrecks in the mist, just as Luffy propels himself and one of the kids from the mist, outside of the mist. As Wetton finally connected to Henzo's Den Den Mushi, it started ringing but Luffy grabbed it and answered it receiving Wetton's voice. On the other side, Sanji grabbed the Den Den Mushi from Wetton and asked if it was Luffy. Upon discovering they talked to each other, Henzo knew the Rainbow Mist and the Outside World is connected, but so did Wetton who began attacking the crew. Nami tells Sanji and Chopper they need to go inside it to find their friends and hopefully the treasure. As she tries to go into the mist, a Sea King appears before her and the others and started attacking. As the Sea King continues to threaten them, Sanji told Wetton they should help Nami before she gets eaten but Wetton didn’t care. Realizing that no one would get through the bridge with the Sea King in the way, Flip told Nami about a safety device on the tower to use as a lifeline, and with help from Pasqua, Nami tied the end of the line to her Clima Tact and Nami threw the cross portion and went into the Mist telling them to pull the line if a signal is given. As Nami enters the mist, Wetton and his forces begin another attack, this time in battle suits with flamethrowers. Chopper and Sanji were in trouble of being burnt forcing Chopper to eat a Rumble Ball, but still failed because of Lake. Sanji got caught on a net and got burnt, too. When they saw the signal, they did saw a rowboat coming back but Sanji was about to kick Wetton when Lake electrocuted him. Ian saw Ruluka Island and was amazed but mistook Lake to be Wetton. As the Rainbow Tower was completely connected, Chopper and Sanji held off Wetton's forces from entering Ape's Concert to the best of their abilities. However, when Luffy returned to fight Wetton, they decided to leave the rest to him. Unfortunately, Wetton decided to blow up the tower, trapping everyone inside. Luckily, everyone on the Going Merry managed to escape thanks to the sacrifice of the Pumpkin Pirates, who stayed behind and helped the Merry escape with an explosive. Outside, the Mayor gets arrested by a bunch of powerful Marines that turn out to be older versions of Henzo's friends, who were thrown 50 years into the past by the Rainbow Mist's collapse. The marines let Luffy and the Straw Hats go and the crew departs onward to their next adventure.
Dead End Adventure
The Straw Hats are now chased by a Marine ship, commanded by Drake. Due to the stormy weather and Nami's exceptional navigational skills, the ship sails away unscathed, leaving the Marine pursuant behind. The crew reach a town on Hannabal Island. Inside a pirate filled bar, they find out there is a great but very dangerous opportunity through a mysterious door in the bar. As the crew enters the mysterious door they are surprised to see it is the opening to a large tunnel. Inside they find themselves in a large cave filled with pirates, who are all there to compete in the Dead End Race, a very dangerous anything goes sailing competition, which the winner can win up to 300,000,000.

While Nami registers the crew for the race, Luffy gets involved in a fight against Gasparde's crew along with an infamous bounty hunter by the name of Shuraiya Bascùd, as well as meets Gasparde himself which of course ends on bad terms. The next morning, The crew set sail along with many other pirate ships for the parade start which involves sailing off a waterfall, fighting off other pirates, and navigating sharp turns. Before even reaching the ocean, several pirate crews are wrecked, luckily the Straw Hats manage to pull through with each challenge. However while checking the ship, they find a stowaway, a kid by the name of Anaguma whose come to kill them for their bounties, though find that's impossible after witnessing the crew's strength and power and thus sails along with them for the race. After a few more encounters one involving the pirate ship of Bigalo the Hangman and sea kings, the Straw Hats arrive at Partia, the supposed finish line of the race. However it turns out to be a Marine stronghold that quickly sinks any incoming pirate ships. Luffy realizes Gasparde rigged the race and the crew manages to escape the stronghold and track down Gasparde's ship using Chopper's nose. The Straw Hats manage to get to Gasparde's ship, the Salamander, just in time to stop Gasparde from killing Shuraiya. After Luffy knocks out Shuraiya, and starts to fight Gasparde, the rest of the crew board the ship and Anaguma reunites with his grandpa and tries to get him to leave the ship. Instead he sends Anaguma on ahead while he claim he has one last thing to do. As Luffy's fight continues, When Anaguma realized that his grandpa is still on Gasparde's ship, he begs the Straw Hats to go back but Zoro knocks him out and reveals that Anaguma is actually a girl, while this is happening, her grandpa causes the boiler to explode and make the ship sink. As Luffy manages to stay on the sinked wreckage and finish his fight with Gasparde right as a cyclone is coming, Luffy manages to defeat Gasparde and send him flying into the cyclone. After this, he is saved by Anaguma's grandpa along with Shuraiya. As they head for the nearby island, the grandpa reveals that Anaguma was adopted and her real name is Adelle Bascùd, Shuraiya's little sister whom he thought was dead. Despite the awkward reunion, the two come to accept each other. The Straw Hats close in on the real Partia as the winners of the race but the Marine ships suddenly appear and go after them, forcing them to flee from the island and forfeit their prize money. They let Adelle, Shuraiya, and Grandpa off then wish them good-bye individually before sailing off with the Marines on their tail. Despite not getting the prize money, the Straw Hats continue on for their next big adventure.
The Cursed Holy Sword
When the Straw Hat Pirates dock at Asuka Island, Zoro and Usopp stay behind on the Going Merry to guard it, while the others head into town to restock their supplies. As everyone on the island learns about the legend of the Shichiseiken, Zoro is fast asleep, while Usopp is issuing repairs on the Merry. After Usopp asks a still sleeping Zoro to kick down some wooden boards for repairs, a knife is thrown through the wood, nearly hitting Zoro squarely in the face, if he had not moved his head. However, Zoro is shocked to see his name carved into the knife. As Usopp climbs above deck to get the wood himself, he notices Zoro is suddenly missing. Later, the crew are escaping a fleet of Marine ships, led by Commander Drake. They still have not found Zoro, but have no time to find him, due to the said Marine attack. At that moment, Luffy decides that they will look for Zoro. Just then, Nami tells the crew that they have to sail into a path surrounded by mountains. Despite Luffy's disagreement, they are forced to take said path, due to the Marines trapping them in a pincer attack. As they sail through the path, they come across a ramp which they are about to make contact with. However, instead of sinking, the Going Merry flies into the sky, while the massive Marine ships are left to crash into one another. However, as it turns out, Luffy has no idea where they would land, and as the ship starts descending, things seemed hopeless for the pirates. However, by chance, they bounce on a Hippo Rhino (which immediately falls in love with the ship), and the Straw Hats are sent flying into a river back on the island. On the Merry, the Straw Hats are searching everywhere for Zoro, when Chopper discovers a giant lake right ahead of them. There, we see Maya swimming in the lake, before heading towards a shrine, carrying three orbs, and getting prepared to pray to a statue. Just then, she notices the Going Merry, and realizes that it's a pirate ship. She escapes with the orbs after the Straw Hats notice her. Luffy decides to stretch in order to ask about Zoro, and Usopp is dragged along in an attempt to stop him. However, the two lose track of her without noticing, and she runs away, but not before being noticed by the other Straw Hats present. The crew follow her back to her village, with Luffy and Usopp getting lost on the way. Seeing the armed villagers, Nami presumes that the villagers are hiding something, which Robin confirms by looking at a few of the ruins. As Sanji gets in a fight with one of the villagers for insulting Robin, a band of Marine swordsmen assaults the village, led by Bismarck, Boo Kong, and much to the Straw Hats' surprise, Zoro. As Zoro chases after Maya and another villager; Izaya, in an attempt to steal a set of orbs in her possession, Sanji pursues the rogue swordsman and fights him. As Zoro cuts Sanji's arm, Sanji lies on the ground, Zoro steals the orbs, and leaves with the retreating Marines. Back in the village, the Straw Hats are aiding the suffering villagers, with Chopper making medicine and Sanji cooking food, despite his arm being damaged by Zoro. Despite their aid, Izaya urges them to leave the island at once, saying that all lives are important, even pirates. The next morning, the group, minus Zoro, Usopp, and Luffy are being served breakfast by Maya, and Sanji's arm has fully recovered. Again, Izaya tells them to leave the island as quickly as possible, but they cannot leave without finding Luffy and Usopp first. When she urges them to leave once they have been found, the Straw Hats question their reasons for doing so. When Izaya deduces that they came to Asuka Island solely for the Shichiseiken, Maya tells them that the sword is not the kind of treasure they think it is. Robin then confirms this by telling the tale of the Priestess and the three princes, as well as the sword and the orbs, which she learned from the ruins she studied before as the island was once engulfed in a war and the sword, absorbing the blood and hatred of so many during the war, became cursed, causing massacre and destruction, destroying the Kingdom of Asuka. As Robin was unable to decipher the remainder of the story, Izaya finished the story explaining the truth behind the importance of the sword and the orbs. After Maya explains her past with Saga, the man in possession of the sword, and his connection with Zoro, the straw hats realize his plan to revive its power, which would have been stopped by the ritual. So, in order to stop the ritual, Saga, who cannot touch the orbs due to the sword's influence, he had Zoro steal the orbs away. As the group try to figure out a way to stop Saga, Maya, being the priestess' distant descendant, states that the only way left is for her to sacrifice her own life, just like the first priestess. Despite everyone's protests, including Sanji, Maya has her mind made up, and everyone begrudgingly accepts her decision. After this, a massive spurt of water comes from the caves below, carrying Luffy and Usopp into broad daylight at long last. After the pair introduce themselves to Maya, Izaya, and Lacos, Nami asks them what they have been doing. After Usopp explains their trek in the caves, she shoves it off as adventuring, much to the frustration of Luffy and Usopp. As the sun sets, the others learn of Luffy's battle against Saga, while Luffy learns of Zoro's "betrayal", and Usopp confirms that Saga is indeed the wielder of the Shichiseiken. After hearing that Maya is going to sacrifice herself in a ritual to stop the Shichiseiken, Luffy prepares to leave, in order to beat Saga, which Izaya says is futile, as Luffy cannot even scratch the blade. However, Luffy proclaims that they will not know if beating him will work unless they try. Despite this, Maya is more than willing to sacrifice herself, even though she is afraid of dying, saying that she decided to do so in order to save Saga. Deciding to cheer Maya up, Luffy reveals the orbs, much to everyone's (save Usopp's) surprise, especially Izaya. Now that they had the orbs, Maya could preform the ritual to stop the Shichiseiken without sacrificing her own life, but Maya asked Luffy where he found them. Learning where Luffy found them, she wonders why they were in the cave to begin with. However, even though the ritual can be performed, it is far too risky due to Saga's forces. Despite this, Luffy tells Maya that if she believes in Saga, then she should completely trust him, and that no one can decide her fate except for herself. With this, He and the other Straw Hats decide to aid Maya in her mission, as they will use the orbs despite all odds. After Luffy asks what needs to be done, Izaya says that the orbs need to be taken to the three towers, called Komon, Tonroh, and Hagun, and then, a barrier can be erected, which will stop the sword from reviving. When Usopp reveals that he and Luffy saw the towers during their cave-trip, surprising Izaya once again. Eventually, the Straw Hats split up into groups as all three orbs get to their individual towers and the barrier is raised by Maya. Nami and Chopper decide to go to the Tonroh tower, where they are met by Toma, who immediately attacked them. Despite Toma having the upper hand against the two, Chopper managed to fend of most of his attacks with Horn Point and Guard Point, leaving Nami open to distract and counter with a Thunder Tempo. With Toma officially off guard, Chopper rushes in with Arm Point and strikes him with a Kokutei Roseo, defeating him. With Nami and Chopper securing the tower, Luffy and Saga engage in a fight of their own, with the Shichiseiken merging with Saga and giving him a upper hand against Luffy. However, Zoro arrives to finish the fight against Saga himself, giving him another sword so they can duel. As Zoro clashes with Saga, he manages to strikes the finishing blow, destroying the Shichiseiken and thus freeing Saga from the curse. Lying injured on the ground, Saga regained his consciousness and smiled up at his victorious friend before passing out. Zoro and Luffy both pass out, with Luffy passing out due to being hungry as their friends come for them, while Maya holds Saga in her arms. With the ritual complete, the cursed sword destroyed, and everyone under its influence freed, and his old friend saved, Zoro apologizes to the crew for his earlier actions, with Luffy happy that he's back with his friends. As the crew happily reunite, Saga wakes up and swears to everyone that he will master the sword of justice for everyone's sake, as it is the only atonement he can make. Zoro then gives Saga his old knife back, as Saga makes Zoro the same promise, he walks away with his crew ready to leave the island. As the Straw Hat Pirates leave the island, Saga sits on a cliff with Maya, Izaya, Lacos, and Toma to see their departure. As the crew ready themselves for their next adventure, the Going Merry sails out with a Hippo Rhino continuously hitting it in a strange sort of mating ritual, with the crew trying to sail away from the smitten creature.
Open Upon The Great Sea A Fathers Huge Huge Dream
The Straw Hats arrive onto Shellfish Island where they run into a mysterious group of people looking for treasure. The same group is then ambushed by the Bayan Pirates' second in command, Zap, who captures the oldest child, Amanda, along with a sleepy Luffy, who apparently had sleeping medicine put into his food by Sanji earlier to make him quiet. Straw Hats visit Amanda's father's hut to try to find out where the great treasure is. They learn that the treasure island is between Mamanato Island and Samua Island, which is the island that they are on now. They also learn Amanda holds the key to finding the treasure. After this, the Straw Hats, Maccus, Bonney, and Amanda's younger siblings follow the Bayan crew to their main ship in order to save Luffy and Amanda. As the Straw Hats arrive to save their captain, Bayan decides to force Luffy to fight his own crew. This tactic was successful until Usopp manages to shoot sleeping pellets into the singers' mouths, with assistance from Chopper, stopping them from singing. As Bonney and Maccus board the ship and fail to defeat Zap, The Straw Hats then board Bayan's ship, easily defeating Zap and, using a combined attack against Bayan, send him off into the ocean, and rescuing Amanda in the process. The Straw Hats then sail back to the island where the treasure is supposed to be. Afterwards, the island starts to "open" and reveals itself to be a giant clam. Inside is a gigantic pearl, which makes Amanda acknowledge her father's drive for adventure, as they all realize that the island itself was the treasure that the map leads to. Afterwards Bonney and Maccus offer to adopt the children, as the Straw Hats say farewell to the newly formed family.
Protect The Last Great Performance
One day on a random island, the Straw Hats decide to buy tickets to go see the farewell performance from a long time actor named Randolph. 30 minutes before the play is set to start, 3 actors decide to quit the play, leaving Randolph's play shorthanded. Nami makes a deal with the manager of the play to participate as the princess for 100,000, and the other Straw Hats decide to help as well. As the first act ended up being disastrous, due to the straw hats' individual performances, leading to the set crashing. Just as the first act reaches a disastrous end, Randolph, playing a marine officer, however performs a valiant speech which inspires the audience and keeps the show going. Before Act 2, Randolph finds out Luffy is a pirate and attacks him, due to his own past as a ex marine and the loss of his family to pirates. Knowing that Luffy was a pirate made Randolph angry and he attempted to fight him. Seeing as Act 2 was soon to come, Randolph decided to postpone the fight until after the play. Just as everyone was about to start the 2nd act, a marine commander showed up and arrested Randolph for selling weapons to pirates. This turned out to be a lie however as this marine commander Governor had planted those weapons on Randolph's ship for revenge, as the commander was a former subordinate of Randolph who once tried to sell weapons to pirates to speed up his own promotion within the marines and to make money, but Randolph caught on and tried to get him kicked out by court martial. Although he failed to prove his guilt, Governor's plans to rise the ranks were greatly halted as a result of Randolph's actions for years, with the commander now back to get his revenge and arrested Randolph. After falling into a cell, Randolph is freed by Luffy who tells him to go back to his ship and finish the act. Randolph refuses to accept help from a pirate but once they are discovered, Luffy grabs Randolph and fights through many marines until he escapes the marine ship and places Randolph back on his own ship and stage. Commander Governor tells the marines to fire and sink both the Going Merry and Randolph's ship but Luffy stops the cannonballs from reaching Randolph's ship. Luffy vows to protect Randolph's performance and yells to Randolph to hurry and finish the act. While Randolph is performing the act, the marines send two ships around the Going Merry to try and sink Randolph's ships. As the rest of the crew deals with marines, Luffy and Chopper board the main marine ship during the confusion and knock out all of the marines on board. Commander Governor wonders why the pirates are so strong and finally realizes that they are facing the Straw Hat Pirates. He accuses an underling of making the mistake and threatens him with court martial, but the marine says go ahead and threatens to reveal the truth about Commander Governor. Meanwhile, Randolph is just about to finish his play when he decides to change the last line. Instead of "I will fight until every pirate is dead at my feet", he tells the audience that the pirates in the play actually disposed of the cruel and greedy princess of the village. He says that he will fight against all who are despicable instead. He will fight against those with rotten souls and that even if your loved ones are slain by these evil people, you must forge ahead and live on. The Straw Hat Pirates defeat all the marines that fight, while some decide to ditch the cowardly Commander Governor. With no men left, Governor states he will not give up and will just lie on his reports to his superiors about what happened. Luffy then drops down into the commanders room however, and punches him through the sky. Randolph's new speech brings tears and cheers to the audience as his farewell performance comes to an end. As Luffy and the rest leave the island, Luffy yells to Randolph that he will be back to settle things and to not forget about it and Randolph remarks that Luffy better not forget their postponed fight either as the Straw Hats sail off into the sunset.
G8 Arc
When the Straw Hats drop from the sky after their adventure in Skypiea, they land in the middle of the marine base known as G-8, they are forced to abandon their ship, as many marines immediately spring upon it. Separated, the crewmates are forced to disguise themselves and try to find a way out of the base, which is comprised of a huge mountain surrounded by water, and then a ring of sheer rock cliffs that form a wall of sorts. As the crew separates, Chopper is shown hiding behind a tree wondering where everyone is. In order to get away from Marines, Chopper throws trash out a window to distract them, so he can get into the base. While inside, Chopper overhears that Zoro has been captured. Some Marines find him, and they run past the closet that Nami hides in. Chopper reaches a locked door but breaks the lock and manages to hide behind a crate full of deer antlers. Some doctors carry the crate outside with Chopper trapped inside. He is carried to the medical room, which is staffed with a single, inexperienced doctor. Chopper realizes that he is in the infirmary, and wonders if the doctor is going to be okay. After seeing her faint and seeing Nami in the room, Chopper decides to take the doctor's place and directs the treatment, wearing disguises. He meets up with Nami and asks what she is doing. Dr. Kobato wakes up then collapses again at the thought of operations. She revealed that she cannot bear the sight of suffering or wounded people, but Chopper encourages her to save the wounded. She stands up and makes her way to the operating room. Nami tries to persuade Chopper to escape while they can, but he says that his number one priority is to save people. The three of them proceeds to operate on the patients. Meanwhile, Drake is notified that an unidentified doctor is performing surgeries. He suspects that it is one of the Straw Hat pirates. Drake proceeds to the operating room and demands to ask Dr. Kobato a few questions. She in turn demands that he leaves after saying that the only people in the room were ones who dedicated their lives to saving people. He complies but orders the guards to watch the room. They finish the operations, and Chopper shrinks down to his usual size. However, Dr. Kobato is oblivious to this. While the others are captured and eventually escape, an alarm goes off in the clinic, Nami and Chopper overhear a guard informing Dr. Kobato that they were in Code Red due to a jailbreak. Nami is worried since she and Chopper were still separated from the Crew. They deduce that Luffy must have rescued Zoro and Usopp and that they are probably on their way to the Merry. They decide that they have to get out of the clinic to meet up with the rest of the Crew. Before Nami and Chopper can leave, the guard tells Dr. Kobato that one of the pirates have disguised themselves as a doctor. She panics and locks the door to her clinic. She does not realize that the pirates being pertained to are Nami and Chopper and is worried for their safety. However, the two inform her that they are the pirates and that they need her to tell them the location of the dock where their ship is. Dr. Kobato, terrified, screams and then faints which causes the guards to break down the door and rush inside. Improvising, Nami pretends to have also been attacked and lies down next to the doctor, all tied up, while Chopper hides. Nami tells the guards that "the pirates" have escaped through the air ducts. When Dr. Kobato regains consciousness, she tries to scream, but Nami calms her down. Chopper and Nami are about to leave, when Dr. Kobato tells them that even though they are pirates, they were the ones who helped her see what it truly means to be a doctor and that she wants to help them find their ship. Chopper is worried that they might get her in trouble for helping pirates, so she tells them that if they get caught, she will just pretend to be a hostage. Since her father works at the docks, Dr. Kobato is able to determine where their ship might be. Nami and Dr. Kobato eventually arrive at dock 88 where the others are, pushing a hospital bed, with Chopper hidden in the sheets pretending to be a patient. As Nami's group arrive in Dock 88 to help, Drake's men bombard Luffy's group with gun fire but he easily repels the bullets using his Devil Fruit powers. The Marines resort to using what seem like bazookas seeing that their guns are ineffective. They have fired instead, flash bombs to subdue the pirates which stings their eyes. Drake then has his Sword Unit attack the Straw Hats as they are still trying to recover from the effects of the flash bomb. The Crew are able to fight off the attacks. Luffy is then shot with a Seastone net and is instantly incapacitated. Drake demands that they surrender and tells them that while their Marine base policy is to take prisoners alive, he will not hesitate to change this policy if he is met with any resistance. With Luffy in a weakened state, Sanji, Zoro and Usopp seem to be unable to resist the overwhelming number of the Marines in the dock and consider surrendering. Just as the Marines are about to capture them, Nami and Dr. Kobato, with Chopper still hidden under the sheets of the hospital bed, get up, and as the marines notice the doctor, Kobato then pretends to be a hostage and screams in feigned terror. She hints at Nami of her plan and in turn, Nami also pretends to be a nurse held hostage by Chopper, now in his Heavy Point form. Chopper acts like a tough and ruthless pirate and demands that the Marines stand down and let them board their ship. As Drake gives in and orders his men to stand down in return for the release of the hostages, Zoro releases Luffy from the Seastone net but Luffy remains weak. Drake "accommodates" the Straw Hats and lets them board their ship, but Zoro senses another trap. He silently tells Luffy to sling them to their ship on his signal. A Marine covertly rescues Dr. Kobato and another also tries to rescue Nami, but she punches the Marine. This was their signal to rush towards the ship. Luffy slings the Crew onto the Merry. Mekao, with the safety of his daughter in mind, aides the pirates in their escape by releasing the Going Merry from the dock into the bay. Thinking that the Straw Hats are holding the "nurse" Nami as hostage, Drake orders them not to shoot at them, but instead to just give them warning shots. As the ship sails away, the Marines scope out the ship and notice Nami giving the crew orders and realize that she is not being held hostage. They realize that she is actually part of the Straw Hats. As Robin later arrives and rejoins the crew, She gives Nami a map of Navarone Island which she obtained in the library. The Marines start shooting cannons at the Merry and start giving chase using warships. Nami refers to the map and sees the only way out of the base is the Sea Gate, to which they head. She notices that the water is too shallow and that the map doesn't make sense. They head to the Sea Gate anyway and try to think of a plan to open the gate. The Marines continue their barrage on the Merry while the Straw Hats don't have a way to retaliate since the Marines have confiscated all their cannon balls. Luffy devises a plan and catches all the cannon balls shot at them with his Gomu Gomu no Fusen ability and redirects them towards the gate. Just as the gate explodes, Nami realizes that if the Marines took all their cannon balls, they must have also taken the treasure they found on Skypiea. The Straw Hats decide to go back for the gold, as well as Nami's waver. They hide the Going Merry in an abandoned dock, since there are so many. Usopp uses the junk in the dock to disguise Merry as a Naval ship, and then splits the crew into two teams: one team to recover the treasure gained at Skypiea, and the other team to retrieve Nami's Waver. Chopper is left behind to guard the Merry. Jonathan tricks the crew into another ambush, this one in a huge room that is locked from the outside. Drake is once again leading the attack, with countless marines backing him up, and things look bleak until Agent Shepherd foolishly opens the doors and allows Luffy, Robin, Zoro, and Usopp to escape. As Nami's group retrieves the Waver and return to the ship, she goes looking for Luffy and finds him, only to discover that they still do not have the gold. Nami suspects that it's in the Commander's office, so she and Luffy go alone while everyone else goes back to the boat. Using the Waver, she and Luffy scale the main mountain and break into Jonathan's office. Marines fill the room but Nami uses her Thunder Tempo attack to electrocute them all. She and Luffy grab the treasure and head back to the boat. However, Jonathan is not worried, because at 9 PM the "fangs of G-8" will appear. What he means is the inner lake becomes so shallow that the Going Merry is stranded on a reef. With no water, the Merry is stuck in the mud while the marines mobilize. When Luffy commands the ship to go full speed ahead, a hole was torn in the hull by the rocks on the harbor floor, so they stop. The harbor eventually reaches a very low tide, rendering the ship unable to move. Jonathan gloats via megaphone how he had captured the Straw Hat Pirates. However, the Straw Hat Pirates decide to launch a plan of their own; they use Usopp's Impact Dial to launch the ship into the air, then uses an Octopus Balloon inflated with Breath and Flame Dials to float in the air. Jonathan orders his men to fire a "warning shot" at the balloon. However, Shepherd also aims for the balloon with his bazooka, only to instead miss and shoot down the Marines' cannon, with the Straw Hats escaping, once and for all. As the Straw Hats are seen flying towards the sunset. Usopp begins working on fixing the hole in the hull, as they continue to sail away from the base and onto the open sea.
Water 7 Saga
Long Ring Long Land Arc
Oceans Dream Arc
One night aboard the Going Merry, Robin is reading late at night while the others are sleeping. Suddenly, a mysterious figure appears in the ocean and plays an instrument resembling a seahorse. Nami wakes up in the morning, but cannot recognize Robin. Chopper, Usopp, Sanji, and Luffy also wake up soon after, all of which are confused as to why they woke up on the ship; their memories were erased. Usopp lies and says that he was a famous pirate, but his lie is seen through. The Straw Hats all meet at the deck and notice Chopper, wondering who he is. As they see Chopper hiding behind a barrel freaked out about not knowing where he is, and having no idea what he is, Luffy starts chasing after him. Robin explains that they were on the Grand Line, and that they were on a pirate ship led by Luffy. Nami then goes to her room and finds her logbook, finding that the notes were written in her handwriting. Nami decides that she must return to Cocoyasi Village. She escapes the ship using a Waver. Zoro also decides to leave, and jumps in the water and swims. Meanwhile, the mysterious figure watches from a hill. Robin comes to a conclusion and informs the Straw Hats about their memories being erased from them. In the dining room, Robin tells everyone left what she remembers of their adventures, but being the latest member, she does not know the circumstances under which everyone joined. She then recounts what happened the previous day and says that she heard a strange sound. With a whistle from the tea kettle, everyone with memory loss realizes that they all had the same dream about a boy underwater blowing into an instrument, and only Robin was not affected because she was awake. They reach the conclusion that the boy is the cause of the memory loss and that he may strike again that night, possibly taking all of their memories this time. Despite everyone being upset over this realization, Luffy simply figures that although their old memories had been lost, they would just make new memories through their adventures. Later that night, the boy stands on the ship's figurehead and blows the horn. Robin confronts him, waking up all the Straw Hats in the process. Angry, the boy attempts to blow into his horn again, but is confronted by Luffy for sitting on the figurehead. The horn emits a blue, sparkling dust that flows into Luffy's mouth. The boy escapes, but when Luffy wakes up, he regains his memory in the process. After regaining his memories, Luffy tells everyone what he remembers as well as their roles on the crew, but then tells them that he wants to bring back Zoro and Nami, though Robin convinces him to wait until morning. The next day, as Chopper prepares to go to the island with the others Chopper remembers his days on Drum Island being taken in and raised by Dr. Hiriluk. As they come onto the island and immediately bump into Nami, and Luffy forces her to help them find Zoro. On their way, Robin comes across some ancient writing and, realizing the true cause behind the memory loss, and convinces everyone go to a place called the "Sea God's Palace". Meanwhile, the boy hypnotizes Zoro into joining his side. After reaching the forest, Usopp and Chopper end up finding Zoro and brings him back to the others. However, as soon as they arrive, Zoro suddenly begins to attack Luffy. As the Straw Hats believe that Zoro was hypnotized, Luffy tells the others to go ahead to the temple, while he stayed behind to battle Zoro. Meanwhile, on the way to the Palace, Nami tells the Straw Hats that Luffy and Robin are lying to them, and that they should go home. However, the Straw Hats decide to stay with Robin, and they leave Nami behind. Nami, however, decides to follow the Straw Hats to reclaim her gold. Upon arriving at the Palace, Robin explains that there is a legendary monster that would feed on others' memories to survive, and that the monster resided in the island. Nami and Usopp try to reach the Straw Hats, but are approached by the cloaked boy. Sanji leaps into the air and kicks the boy, causing the seahorse horn to release the Straw Hats' memories and also play a sound. Because the boy was briefly unconscious from the kick, he lost his memories. The boy, confused as to where he was, flees. Robin explains that the real thief was the seahorse horn. It tries to flee, but is caught by Sanji. Sanji beats the seahorse until it coughed up the Straw Hats' memories. Having regained their memories, they wonder if Zoro has regained his memories. Zoro approaches them, and Sanji is prepared to fight him. The seahorse communicates via Chopper that it still had its last resort. As Zoro approaches the Straw Hats, prepared to fight them, Sanji battles Zoro, but Luffy launches himself forward, hitting Zoro and Sanji both. When they wake up, Zoro reveals that he regained his memory when the seahorse coughed up his memory, with Luffy right behind him. Sanji was mad that Zoro still looked scary after regaining his memory. Zoro then jumps into the lake to chase the seahorse. After Zoro catches it, the seahorse uses his last resort: he sprays a gas into the air that makes the Straw Hats hallucinate people from their past memories (Bell-mere, Hiriluk, Kaya, Kuina, Zeff, Ace, and Shanks), then their past enemies (Arlong, Wapol, Kuro, Krieg, Crocodile, and Enel). The seahorse then steals the Straw Hats' memories, causing it to inflate and be able to float; claiming that it became a Sennenryu. Despite having lost all of his memories, Luffy decides that he wants to ride the seahorse and unintentionally uses his Devil Fruit powers to fly into it and wrap his arms around it. This causes the seahorse to return Luffy's memories, so he beats up the seahorse until everyone's memory returns and sends it flying off the island. As the crew comes down to the village thinking they will be rewarded for getting everyone's memories back, they are instead attacked. Drim, the boy who carried the seahorse around, misinterpreted the situation and thought the Straw Hat Pirates were the ones who took everyone's memories and warned the entire village, so the crew is forced to rush back to the ship and leave.
Baron Omatsuri And The Secret Island
On a calm day, the Straw Hats receive a message in a bottle advertising Omatsuri Island as a resort, promising spas and salons, good food, and many beautiful women, with Grand Line Pirates being especially welcome, the stronger the better. The crew are delighted at their luck, and Luffy decides that this is an opportunity they could not ignore. They set a course for the island. When they reach the island, they see an uninhabited jungle but the crew follow strange sounds throughout the jungle, which leads them directly to the resort, and they are in awe by its dazzling rides and attractions. Soon, the owner of the island, Baron Omatsuri comes out on an elephant with a small talking flower sprouting from his shoulder to greet his guests. The crew notices the flower, and also notice that the dancers and performers, all have a small plants sprouting out of their heads as well. As the Baron welcomes the crew to his island and says they are welcome to enjoy all the delights he is offering, Luffy and the others are happy to hear this, but first he suggests that they prove their worth by taking part in a competition called the 'Trial of Hell, which he explains is similar to the Davy Back Fight. Despite the crew being unsure whether or not to consider the trial, Luffy is filled with excitement by this challenge, saying that it might be fun, and that his friends are capable of handling any trial, officially excepting the proposal. As he accepts the proposal, the plaza they are in mechanically converts into an enormous round pool with a platform in the middle, as the first competition is goldfish catching, with the rules being that the winning team will be the one who catches the most goldfish in three minutes using only the net they are given, which is about three inches long and made of water-soluble tissue paper. When Usopp volunteers to take on the challenge, he immediately changes his mind when he sees his opponent, Muchigoro and the massive goldfish that they have to catch, Rosario. As Nami, Sanji, Zoro and Luffy all try to catch the giant fish using their normal attacks, but only succeed in breaking the tiny net. Just as they decide that it's an impossible task, Muchigoro takes his turn. He reveals that he was hiding a net big enough to catch Rosario all along, much to the crew's fury. He calls Rosario into his net and flings him toward his prize bucket, with Robin intervening with her powers to bounce the fish back into the platform, where Chopper knocks him into own bucket using his Guard Point, just as the time limit ends. Chopper, however, is dazed from his big transformation and stumbles into the sea. Luffy leaps in after him, forgetting that he cannot swim either. Sanji rescues both of them, but fails to notice that there are dozens of sunken pirate ships lying under the water. The Baron is furious at the Straw Hats for beating him, as well as insulting him and Muchigoro. He demands that they compete in another challenge. Nami had been hoping for a chance to relax at this island, and refuses on behalf of the rest. Luffy, however, overrules as before, having enjoyed the first trial and is looking forward to more. Nami, furious, tries to lead the crew back to the ship, but the forest seems to move around them and they become lost. Luffy, following them, continues to try to convince them to go back to the Trials. When they finally manage to leave the forest, they find themselves before the Baron again as he announces that they have arrived at the second trial – a complex game of ring toss, taking place between two teams of four people, each in two gondola-like waver boats. To win, a team must throw rings over every member of the other team. Due to being a devil fruit user, Chopper was forced to sit this trial out, and wait at the hotel with Robin and Luffy. Chopper leaves as he finds a fruit to bite on and walks around, exploring the large mansion, unaware that the Baron is watching him. Chopper continues to explore with a fruit in his mouth. He could not help but think something was strange, since no one but themselves were in a large, beautiful resort on the island. He tells Robin that he will return right away, and goes outside. Chopper ventures out to the city streets, but they were completely deserted, just as he thought. The sun was beginning to set, but still, no one inhabited the buildings that filled the streets. It was a deadly silence. Chopper finally approaches rows and rows of tombstones and is awestruck at the great numbers. Behind him, a shadow creeps closer and closer, breaking the silence which surrounds him. Slowly turning around, Chopper screams, which surprisingly, scares the culprit as well, who was a pirate. They both scream in surprise, but the pirate man quickly tries to attack Chopper behind the tombstone, accusing him of being one of the Baron's men. He even goes as far as calling Chopper an otter – that is when Chopper overpowers him with his human form and scares the living daylights out of him. A young girl's voice calls out to him, calling him "Papa". Chopper is confused, but is eventually dragged down lower out of sight by "Papa". He begs for Chopper's forgiveness and begins to converse with him. Finding out that Chopper is not one of the Baron's men, the man reveals his family's background as the Tearoom Pirates. He has a son and 2 daughters named Rick, Roza, and Daisy, all which were cute and obedient to their father. He tells his story of coming out to Omatsuri Island and camping because they heard about its great resort. He found out it was all a lie, knowing that it was impossible to dip for a giant goldfish like Rosario. So then, they ran away. One of his daughters believes that her Papa is a very strong person, so with this in mind, he requests Chopper's assistance in pretending to be the one getting beat up while he acts strong in front of his daughter. In return, he will tell Chopper the secrets about the resort island. In the end, Roza sees through his plan and reveals it to her younger gullible sister, Daisy. Papa tells Chopper about who the Baron and his crewmates really are: pirates. He reveals to him an old bounty posted on a brick wall, which was discovered when he was lost on the island. In the photo are numbers of the Baron's men, with Baron Omatsuri at the center. It seems to be a very old piece of paper. Even the amount posted on the bounty was ripped, but one thing was certain, they were called the Red Arrows Pirates. The island known as Omatsuri Island does not exist, in reality it was a pirate island. The Baron's objectives were to lure pirates to the island to find the strongest pirates among them, thus the need for the trials. Chopper spots something strange about the poster, as in the poster, Baron seemed very young in the photo. As Chopper was about to unravel the mystery about him, a man in the shadows readies an arrow from afar. Daisy turns around and screams, but it was too late. Chopper turns around and is stricken with the arrow as the fireworks appear in the air. Out from the shadows Baron emerges, and looks into the poster which held the image of him, many years ago. He then takes Chopper prisoner and gives him to the Lily Carnation, where he is eventually absorbed into the monstrous plant in front of Luffy, becoming apart of it. With Luffy and the other pirates trapped on the island banding together to stop Baron Omatsuri, the Lily Carnation takes it true form, with the entirety of the Straw Hats now assimilated into it and the Baron. Despite an uphill battle now ensuing, one of the pirates manages to fire an arrow into the Lily, critically injuring it in the process, causing all the inhabitants on the island to become lifeless again, and a shocked Baron to lose his connection with the Lily. With a now enraged Baron trying to finish everyone off, before he takes a step further, Luffy steps into the puddle of the Lily's innards and strikes him with a death-rendering punch, sending the Baron into oblivion, and ending the struggle. With the Lily Carnation's destruction, everyone that was absorbed earlier returned, completely confused about what had happened to them in the first place. As the five of them emerge safe and sound, Luffy smiles in relief and closes his eyes. The Straw Hats spot him and quickly go to see him. With Nami calling out to him wondering what happened and how he could lay there and sleep in a place like this, Luffy couldn’t help but laugh, as the struggle on Omatsuri Island was finally over.
The Giant Mechanical Soldier Of Karakuri Castle
During a raging storm, the crew searches a wrecked pirate ship for any treasure only to find a single chest. On the Going Merry, they open it only to find an old woman who hid there to escape the storm. As they contemplate what to do with her, even suggesting to put her back in the box, the woman tells them about a legendary Golden Crown on her island that she will let them have if they return her there. Though the rest of the crew thinks this sounds suspicious, Luffy agrees. As it turns out, it is impossible to reach using a Log Pose, requiring the use of a "Turtle Pose", which uses a small turtle that always points to the island. As they come up to the island, the crew hears a fisherman singing an old folk song about the Golden Crown known as the Yurari Uta. The woman explains that the island is known as Mecha Island and as the pirates get closer, they set off a defense system involving arrow-firing robots. When the island's leader, Ratchet, sees the old lady, his mother, on the ship, he launches a hand glider and retrieves her from the ship. Then, one of Ratchet's subordinates, General Maji, activates the robots, sending hundreds of arrows flying towards the ship, but Zoro deflects all of them. Maji then activates a giant fan to blow the ship away, but the arrow robots end up getting sucked into it. Though the metal parts being blown out of the fan wreck the Going Merry's main sail, the fan is destroyed while Maji gets his back broken by Robin's Clutch. Due to this, the crew cannot leave the island, so they decide to stay and search for the Golden Crown. They realize that there may be hints in the song they heard earlier, which Robin had thankfully written down. The two possible clues they find in the song refer to "the white snake's eyes" and "the two moons". They manage to figure out that the white snake is referring to a rock shaped like a snake head, but cannot understand what the two moons refer to. Usopp suggests that maybe it is the moon and its reflection, but that is wrong too. As it turns out, Ratchet is also trying to figure out the same thing, but he decides to leave the Straw Hats alone for now, believing that it is impossible for them to solve the mystery. During a contest between him and Usopp, Luffy breaks off one of the snake rock's eyes, and Robin realizes that they may have misinterpreted the lyrics of the song. Luffy breaks off the other eye, revealing an entrance into the island. When Ratchet hears about this from Maji, who was watching the crew, he freaks out for a bit but eventually calms down and decides to use them to get the treasure for himself. Maji then invites the crew to a party at Ratchet's castle, which they begrudgingly accept. As the Straw Hats reach the castle, Luffy happily begins eating as the crew look around the venue as the party starts. As they look around they notice that the entire staff are all robots dressed like maids, except for the Butler. During these events, Chopper keeps hearing a voice calling out. At the party, Ratchet asks for the Straw Hats to help him find the treasure. Though the rest of the crew finds this suspicious, Luffy agrees to help. The next day, the crew along with Ratchet and his friends enter the cave. They pass through a narrow passage and fall down a waterfall before crashing their ship on land. Luffy comes across a beautiful lake surrounded by animal statues with light shining through the top, and Robin finds a pillar with the final part of the song written on it. At first, they think it means to say that it is time to drink up the lake, but they soon realize that it actually means that the Ibis statue can drink up the lake. Luffy unintentionally knocks down a giant statue of this bird into the lake, and all of the water drains away. At the bottom of the lake is a passage, which Robin, Chopper, and Sanji go through while the others stay to investigate the newly exposed surroundings. As Robin's group manage to reach the top of the mountain and investigate the temple located there, they make a discovery that literally causes the entire island to shake and fall apart, as the island itself was actually a Giant sleeping turtle. As it turns out, it was the turtle that was calling Chopper before. It was revealed that the song actually serves as instructions to awaken the island-sized turtle, with the island itself onto of its shell, which Ratchet reveals he knew this entire time, though he also points out that he still has not figured out what the Golden Crown is referring to, so there may still be a treasure. At this point, Ratchet reveals his true intentions: he will use the turtle to take over the world, which everyone immediately thinks is stupid. As his group manages to escape from the pirates, he activates his giant mechanical castle which takes the turtle and manipulates it using giant cables in order to force it to move, to advance his world domination plot. The Straw Hats gather together and break into the castle in order to stop him, but Chopper goes off on his own when the turtle starts speaking to him. At this point, Chopper learns that the turtle is to be awakened every 1000 years to lay its eggs, while the others are dealing with traps and obstacles set up by Ratchet and his men. As Chopper meets back up with Usopp, they run into Nami, and together on Nami's waver they head back together to the Going Merry. As Luffy beats Ratchet and everyone meets up outside, Nami's group, who had retrieved the ship, meet up with everyone and tell them that the turtle is going to crash into a nearby island. Using a combination of attacks from Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro, Luffy executes an attack called Gomu Gomu no Kaiten Ono on the castle. Luffy breaks the castle apart, releasing the turtle, yet Zoro and Sanji had to stop Luffy before he accidentally hurt the turtle. The turtle stops and successfully lays its eggs. As the crew start to leave, one of the eggs hatched. Luffy sees this and realizes that the Golden Crown is referring to the broken turtle egg shells, which are literally made of gold. They take one of the shells with them as they leave what's left of Mecha Island, but it ends up sinking into the water as they sail off towards their next adventure.
Foxys Return Arc
On the Going Merry, the Straw Hats find themselves dealing with a storm that keeps growing larger. Zoro and Usopp try to keep the mast in place while Nami tries to find a way out of the storm. As this is happening, Luffy spots Foxy, Hamburg, and Porche on a raft in trouble, and decides to pull them in. As the three stay till the morning, Nami spots the Sexy Foxy and the two boats dock next to each other. Foxy is then surprised to learn that his ship and crew have been taken over by the Fanged Toad Pirates, who then challenge Foxy to a Davy Back Fight. As this is happening, Chopper and Robin are seen on the Going Merry playing a board game. Chopper wonder if he should go check on the others but Robin point out the Porche will just chase him again. Realizing that, Chopper apprehensively throws the dice and moves his pawn, as Robin chuckles. As Foxy loses his fight one-sidedly, Luffy is upset that the Fanged Toad Pirates captain, Kibagaeru cheated, leading to an argument and Foxy encouraging Luffy to fight him on his behalf. Despite Luffy helping Foxy take his ship and crew back, Foxy betrays the Straw Hats by using his powers on them and letting them fall into a pit trap. As the crew easily brakes out of the trap, Foxy gets in the way of their escape with his powers. Luckily, Luffy and the others manage to escape and force Foxy to end all hostilities. As the Straw Hats leave and disembark on another island for a barbecue, Foxy and his subordinates attack in a large crab-shaped submarine, leading Luffy to mistakenly try to cook and eat the crab. When he couldn't, he throws the submarine onto the beach and it explodes, officially ending Foxy's pursuit of the crew. Despite this, however, the crew's worries were not over as they go into the nearby jungle, only to find a mysterious, sleeping man, who a terrified Robin states is one of the strongest individuals in the Marines; Admiral Aokiji.
Postenies Lobby Arc
Thriller Bark Saga
Ice Hunter Arc
The Straw Hats, onboard their new ship, the Thousand Sunny encounter a damaged ship, whose members led by a man named Stansen they decide to help, but who then try to trick them. They are then revealed to be working for the bounty hunter group named Accino Family, led by a man named Don Accino. At the same time, Salchow of the Accino family receives Stansen's report and tricks the Straw Hats into moving into a field of icebergs near Hyokaido, an area that is sometimes known as the frozen highway. Once trapped in the Hyokaido, the two boats have nowhere to go as the icebergs seem to move according to the Sunny's movements and lock them in. Meanwhile, the Straw Hats learn that the former Phoenix Pirates reportedly sailed into the New World but were heavily beaten there, losing the life of Vigaro, a crew member and vice-captain. Thereafter, they lost their flag to the Accino Family and became their soldiers-though only Stansen shows any "loyalty" to them. When their heavily injured captain, Puzzle recovers, he says that Stansen's decision "wasn't bad", that they will no longer be pirates or sail to the New World and that they will stay the bounty hunters' underlings. No one in the crew agrees with this, especially the very young and passionate member named Jiro, but the captain is not moved at all. Luffy, who was with Chopper on the Phoenix's ship to look on the injured Puzzle, head back, but the rope that was used to hold the ship close to the Sunny breaks in a rampage of several mysterious underwater "eruptions", separating the two ships. Still on the broken ship with the Phoenix Pirates, Chopper and Luffy try to leave in a rowboat, but come back just in time to stop Brindo, who just arrived from severely injuring Stansen. When Brindo tells Luffy, how his family have already stolen their flag, he gets angry and begins to fight him. As Luffy fights Brindo and after a while manages to pull him into the water, which worries Chopper until he is then chained up by Puzzle and pulled out of the water, along with Brindo, who they captured. On the Phoenix Pirates ship, Brindo is still captured. Puzzle offers a deal: himself for the crew. However, it is foiled by Jiro screaming into a Den Den Mushi to Campacino that should they do anything against them Brindo will be killed. Campacino then comes to the ship and frees his brother. Luffy and Chopper confront Brindo and Campacino in their "combination play," utilizing the power of magnetism. They plan to knock Luffy into the sea and manage to land him on an iceberg. Luffy battles the twins but is unable to strike at them as they leave back to Lovely Land, the family's headquarters. Back on the Phoenix Pirates' ship, Luffy and Chopper decides to follow the twins and get their flag back. Jiro wants to go too, but his captain forbids him to. He gets into a "show" argument with Luffy, who then says he's got a strong will and tells him to go with them. On the rowboat, they follow the twins all the way to Lovely Land, to which Luffy demands out loud for them to give back their flag. When Luffy arrives, he is faced off by the Accino Family's group attack, led by Salchow, Arbell, Hockera, and the twins. However, Jiro and Chopper, who are with him, take on Hockera and manage to heavily beat him using Chopper's guard point. He then gets angry and summons a literal army of Domo Penguins, who encircle Chopper and Jiro. They try to fight them off, just as the remaining Phoenix Pirates arrive. Puzzle wants Jiro to come back, but he refuses. Hockera then sics the Domo Penguins on the Phoenix Pirates as well. They defend themselves, and this leads to Puzzle finally "snapping out" of his lethargy and, remembering Vigaro's sacrifice, he removes the bandages on his head, revealing a phoenix shaped scar and begins to fight. The other Straw Hats then arrive to help with the situation, as Sanji gets most of the bounty hunters away from Luffy except for Brindo. As the Phoenix Pirates deal with Campacino and the Penguins, the Straw Hats take out the Accino Family members down one by one, with only Lil and the Don himself being the last ones left. With Luffy preparing to fight against Accino, the others took the opportunity to go back into the mansion, with Nami staying with Luffy to monitor him and the others go to retrieve the flag. Despite some trouble as Luffy and the Don fight on, and Lovely Land starts melting away before their eyes due to the Don's devil fruit ability, the Straw Hats and the Phoenix Pirates, meanwhile, manage to recover their flags, with Chopper at first shocked that he grabbed the wrong flag, but then shortly surprised when he finds the actual flag, unknowingly with Lil's help. With the flags safely retrieved, Luffy and Accino's intense battle reaches its end, with Luffy withstanding Accino's heat and managing to deliver the finishing blow. After the intense battle between Accino and Luffy ends, wherein the Don is defeated and Hyokaido was completely melted, The Straw Hats then depart as Hyokaido begins to fall apart, while ensuring to put the flag back on the ship before Luffy notices it's actually gone. As they sail away from the area, with the defeated Accino Family sail away with the Don in tow, Campacino and the remaining grunts follow them and try to get revenge. Then suddenly, the Phoenix Pirates arrive and Puzzle challenges Campacino instead. While they sail off, Chopper is worried about them, but Luffy says to see how determined they are and that nothing will happen to them. As Puzzle promises to meet the Straw Hats again in the New World, the crew sail away from the once frozen area, and continue onward toward their next adventure.
Romance Dawn Story
Spa Island Arc
As the Straw Hats relax on Spa Island, they met Lina, her sister Sayo, and her pet sea raccoon, Nukky, who can shape-shift. Sayo is holding a notebook, and when asked about it, she decides that she and her sister should leave. This is when Foxy, along his loyal crewmates, Porche and Hamburg suddenly appear much to the Straw Hats' surprise (though Luffy takes awhile to remember who he is). While still miffed at his defeat since their last meeting, Foxy's only concern is Sayo's notebook. With a new trick up his sleaves, Foxy incapacitates the straw hats and take girls, and takes the notebook. Just as Foxy is about to have them all fall down into the ocean, Franky and Brook show up, and Luffy asks them to beat Foxy up, to which they do, causing a panic on the island in the process. As Luffy and the others make back up, Foxy tries and fails to use his new trick against them, and Luffy sends him and his crewmates flying with a Gum Gum Bazooka. As the situation dies down, the sister's explain that the notebook contain's their father's notes for creating a gem, and that the last clue to making it was somewhere on Spa Island. Overhearing the conversation, the owner of the island, Doran takes Sayo hostage, revealing that he was scheming to take the treasure for himself, having been the one that employed the Foxy Pirates and set them loose on the sisters. Doran then tells the crew to find the treasure if they want the girl back. The group panic over what to do until Luffy makes the suggestion of simply destroying the island much to Doran's panic. As the whole crew, including Zoro, begin destroying the island, an angry Doran decides to stop the bunch by showing them Sayo tied to a stake and a gigantic cannon aimed at her. To show he was serious, he fires a warning shot that barely misses Sayo. Doran then demands the notebook for Sayo's life. Lina tempted to do it was stopped by Sayo, telling her not to give up on their father or his goal, and managed to convince Lina to refuse giving up the notebook. The Straw Hats then proceed to stop Doran and rescue Sayo. Luffy, with Lina and Nukky holding onto him, jumps into the air, uses Gear 3, and preform his Gum Gum Giant Axe, splitting the island in half and sinking it, which annoyed the crew since they weren’t out of harms way yet. After doing this, Luffy shrinks and he, Lina, and Nukky land in the ocean. As they are being rescued by Sanji, Lina sees an x-shaped crack in the ocean floor below the island. After telling the crew this, they all realized that the clue was under the island the whole time. The heat from the lava soon makes steam form around the group and the reflection from the sun causes a circular rainbow effect. The sisters then realize that the steam is the final clue to make the gem. A few days later, the Straw Hats' continue their journey when Nukky flies in and delivers a letter to the crew from his owners. Sayo and Lina succeeded in making the rainbow gem and are living happily with their father who returned, alive and well, just in time to see the creation of the gem. They even sent the gem to the Straw Hats as a thank you, and while the crew gather around to look at the gem, it starts to rain candy out of nowhere, and the candy knocks the gem out of Luffy's hand, causing Nami to panic and demand that everyone search for it on the deck.

As the crew deal with the beetle eating all of the fish that they catch, a young girl on a ship named Yoko orders the beetle, who she calls Boss, to attack the Thousand Sunny.

As they reach the island, Boss gets caught on a cliff, leaving Luffy and the others to make their way to the ground. Once they made to the ground, Yoko pops out of nowhere and bits Luffy, as Sanji, Usopp, and Zoro show up and eventually they are all surrounded by the locals. When Yoko tells them that they are pirates, they start bowing before Luffy and the others, until an old man arrives and tells them that they are the Straw Hat Pirates, which led to them showing the Straw Hats through a maze, until they reach the town, known to everyone as Little East Blue. As Luffy's group explore the town, back on the Sunny, Chopper worried about the team, while Nami predicted that they will call them soon. Robin and Franky thinks if Boss joins the crew, they'll have to get an insect cage. Just after that, Usopp called Nami, and told her to come to the back of the island, because the people wanted her to come. As Nami left to go to the town, Chopper is later seen still on the Sunny, watching Franky build a cage for Boss, with Robin and Brook watching as well. Chopper even states in excitement that they are ready for the Boss. As Chopper and the others wait for the rest of the crew to return, Luffy's group help the people of Little East Blue fend off the forces of the Amigo Pirates, led by Largo and Corto. After Luffy defeats Largo, he and Boss have a rematch that ends in a draw, due to both being exhausted from their earlier fights. With every one of the Amigo Pirates dealt with, the Straw Hats set sail once again, but not before Luffy promises to see Yoko and Boss again someday.

On board the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats read news of attacks on East Blue. Luffy said they will return to East Blue to protect it when Shiki's ship appeared overhead. After warning him of the storm ahead, he came down to meet them. There he revealed he has a Devil Fruit power to make any inanimate object he touches ignore gravity and float. After learning it was Nami that delivered the warning, and that they are headed to East Blue, Shiki offered to take them there and uses his power on Sunny. Together the two ships traveled to the floating island seen before where Shiki suddenly kidnapped Nami. Chopper along with the others tried to rescue her, but by controlling the Thousand Sunny using his power, Shiki escaped them, as well as scattering them among the fragments of the island. Zoro and Chopper ended up on a snow mountainscape. Upon riding around on a Mammoth Dense, they found and rescue a young girl, Xiao, and are lead to her village. She mistook Chopper for a talking Gorilla and momentarily fainted. Along the way they learned the large poisonous plants, called Daft Green, around the village emitted a stink so powerful that the animals stayed away from it. However, long term exposure to the plants is poisonous to humans, and Xiao's grandmother had fallen ill from it. Xiao was outside looking for the cure, which is the IQ plant, and managed to find one, but Shiki had taken all the IQ plants for his experiments. They met up with Sanji and Usopp, also at the same village, where everyone appeared to have small wings on their arms, they learned that Shiki also took all the men and young women to his royal palace, leaving the village with only the very young and old with strict monitoring around the clock. When the rest of the crew showed at the village, Robin informed them of Shiki's plan. They learned there that Shiki is planning to let loose the animals on the island into East Blue in a gambit to force the surrender of the World Government. They also learned that to prove the power of the animals he is planning a demonstration using a village on the floating island. Shiki then arrived sometime later and confronted the Straw Hats who were there. Chopper attacked with Kokutei Roseo Metel, landing multiple blows to Shiki's back, but only mildly hurt him. Despite some initial success in the others fending him off, Chopper and the Straw Hats were defeated, and Nami was coerced into rejoining Shiki by him agreeing to leave them, and her home town be. Usopp, the only remaining crew member conscious tried to stop her, but Shiki knocked him out. Xiao reappeared and gave them the Dial Nami left them. Her mother, who earlier had expressed relief about the animals being sent to East Blue, apologized for saying how happy she was for Shiki leaving for East Blue. They then played the message, and after hearing only the first bit of it, Luffy was angered to the point that he will not listen to the rest (the rest of the crew did, however). Back at Shiki's place, Nami is found to have in fact been attempting to blow up the plants protecting his palace, but was overcome by the poison. Shiki trapped her near the plants and headed off to meet the pirate captains gathering. The Straw Hats arrived at his palace and burst down the gates and made short work of the guards outside. While preparing a toast to the commencement of the operation, the Straw Hats marched into the main meeting room brandishing various firearms and a new wardrobe. After a short confrontation, where Shiki called them simply a suicide squad, and revealed hundreds of men around them. They unload their firearms in the room, defeating most those gathered much to Shiki's dismay, then split up to defeat the rest. Luffy chased after Shiki, with the others helping fight off his minions and soldiers. Usopp and Chopper went off to try and rescue Nami. Chopper tracked her smell to the forest where she was slowly dying from the poisonous toxins. They found her but were hit by some explosives that destroyed the surrounding trees. They quickly grabbed Nami and escaped from the horde of giant animals that began their onslaught towards Shiki's fortress. Usopp and Chopper began their search of the fortress for the science laboratory to retrieve the antidote. Shiki showed up and stops them, surrounding them with is devil fruit abilities. Luffy then appeared and stopped Shiki, as the two escaped with Nami in tow. They later found the laboratory and broke in, finding a group of IQ Plants. Dr Indigo appeared, laughing at them. Chopper says he recognized him as a scientist from the smell of chemicals on him. Usopp demanded him to hand over the antidote, but he refused. Zoro showed up and challenged Indigo for the antidote. He easily finished him off and retrieved the antidote for them. When Nami woke up, Usopp consoled her, explaining that the antidote is working on her and everyone is fighting for her sake. Nami then ordered the two to backtrack to the royal palace. There, Usopp and Chopper threatened one of the remaining scientists to have Shiki move the island into a storm cloud. After Shiki is defeated by Luffy, Chopper along with the other Straw Hats escape using Thousand Sunny, using Shiki's pirate sail as a parachute. When Nami awoke some time later from Chopper's care, he tells her she recovered a lot quicker than he thought but asked her not to push herself too hard. He then tells everyone of Nami's recovery.

The following day after a strange night on the Thousand Sunny, Luffy wakes up and frantically searches for his Straw Hat when he realizes that it is gone. He almost drowns trying to find it when he thinks that it might of fallen into the ocean, leading to Zoro having to rescue him. Soon the rest of the crew have a emergency meeting about the hat, with Usopp stating that the previous night a strange bird flew in and out of their room, leading to the said bird becoming a possible culprit. As they all go out to search for it, Nami is on the Shiro Mokuba I, Sanji, Robin and Brook are on the Mini Merry II, Chopper and Usopp are on the Shark Submerge III, and Franky steers the Sunny. Chopper and Usopp find a ship, and aboard it they find a strange man, who passed out from coughing up blood. As they bring the man aboard the Sunny to be treated, a giant bird lands on the ship, with Luffy's hat in its beak. As Luffy orders the crew to go after it, a Marine ship mysteriously appears behind them. As Franky tells the others that they all need to head back to the ship, the chase is already on as they go through a series of glaciers, a Marine Blockade, into a cave, off a waterfall, and even into a nest of Sea Kings, with Luffy being the one most determined to catch the bird. He chases it into a volcanic region, as Chopper manages to get Schneider to finally wake up, with Schneider asking the doctor to let him see his precious dog, Buzz; who ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Eagle devil fruit, with Luffy finding out about this as he sees Buzz both in his dog form and his hybrid form. Schneider then reveals that in order to make sure his dog did not watch him slowly die, he gave the dog an impossible task in order to stay by his side; which was to steal the straw hat of Monkey D. Luffy. As Chopper hears this, he realizes that Buzz is the giant bird from before, and he informs Schneider that he is on the Straw Hats' ship, causing Schneider to spring back to life and demand that the ship go after his friend. Meanwhile, Luffy is fighting Buzz for his hat back, but the two end up crashing into a Marine base. Before either of them can continue, they get trapped in a seastone cage. The commander of the base reveals himself and mocks Luffy by holding his straw hat on the barrel of his gun, then shoots it gaining Luffy's anger. Before Luffy gets captured, however, Zoro arrives to save him. Luffy tries to get his hat back, but stopped by the base's three giants. As a prolonged fight with the giants leads to Luffy and Zoro almost getting crushed, Schneider arrives, piloting the Sunny as he has come for Buzz. As the ship crashes into the base, the Straw Hats use the opportunity to regroup, with Schneider apologizing to Buzz for trying to keep him away. After doing so, the three giants attack again, only this time they taken down by the Straw Hats' teamwork. After this, Luffy goes after the Marine that still has his hat. The commanding officer throws the Hat into the ocean when he sees Luffy coming, which leads to an angry Luffy using Gear 3rd to punch one of the giants into the gate that he is standing on, with the giants' weapon landing right onto the marine, as the gate begins to break. As water begins to flood the base, the Straw Hats, Schneider and Buzz all escape onto the Thousand Sunny. As everyone gets to safety, Luffy is still chasing after his hat, with it seeming like he will fall to his doom before he can safely reach it. However, Buzz arrives and catches Luffy, which finally allows Luffy the chance to finally catch his hat. Later, Chopper reveals to Schneider what was causing him to cough up blood, a fork that he apparently swallowed by accident and assures him that he will not die. With all that settled, the crew return Schneider and Buzz back to their own ship and part ways, with Schneider telling Luffy to take good care of his straw hat.

One Piece 3d Trap Coaster
As the journey begins with the Straw Hats escaping from cannon fire from a Marine fleet, Robin notices that the cannons are missing them on purpose. Then the leader of the fleet orders a Marine ship to come out from behind a rock and intercept the crew, bumping into the Thousand Sunny. As the crew recovers from the impact, Nami notices that the marine ship is mysteriously empty, till they all see something jumping around the ship and onto the Sunny. Nami recognizes it as a Kung-Fu Dugong, and tries and fails to stop Franky from attacking it. When he asks why, Robin explains that a Kung-Fu Dugong will become his disciple if he defeats it. The dugong, who was laying defeated on the Sunny's deck, gets up and swears allegiance to Franky. As this happens, the marine officer in charge, Trap, reveals that the dugong completed its mission and will proceed to capture Luffy and his crew. After realizing that they were surrounded by crew of Kung-Fu Dugongs, the Straw Hats are cornered by the Marines into an alcove of a nearby island. Trap pushes a lever, and a loud noise begins from beneath the Thousand Sunny. Suddenly, the ship is raised out of the sea, revealing the intricate Trap Tower. The Sunny is resting on the top of the tower in the hand of a Kung-Fu Dugong statue, and Trap laughs while taking a drink from a bottle. He tells them all that the bottom of the floor is made of seastone, and tells them to enjoy their trip, as he pulls another lever and the statue's arm sends the Sunny sliding down the mouth of the statue, entering the Trap Tower in the process. As the crew are forced to ride down the path of the tower, they reach the first trap, known as the "Cutting Hell", which is a large wheel of spinning blades inside of a tube. As the Sunny falls towards it, Luffy simply destroys the trap with a Gomu Gomu no Pistol as the crew falls through the tunnel into another one filled with seawater, as the Sunny begins to spin and crash into a series of waves, as the devil fruit user of the crew are weakened in the process of going through the water tunnel. Soon, they reach the second trap, a giant gorilla-like machine known as the "Hammer Hell" that punches large metal fists together in the path the ship is headed. As Sanji deals with the trap by destroying the fists, an angry Trap presses a button to active more traps at the end of the tunnel, including four harpoon shooting mechanisms, but Zoro deflects the harpoons, making Trap even angrier as he presses the button again. As Sanji and Zoro deal with the harpoons and fight with each other, Trap hits a different button to activate the main ride, and hundreds of dugong-operated cannons come out of the walls of a large room the Sunny has stopped in. Luffy, still groggy from the seawater ride gets up after Nami shocks him awake, and he goes onto the masthead of the Sunny and uses Gomu Gomu no Ballon to deflect the cannonballs. The resulting explosions cause the dugongs to abandon the cannons and jump into the water for safety. The explosions also causes debris to fall from Trap Tower. With the ride momentarily stopped, the crew discussed what to do next, as the Dugong that Franky attacked earlier goes into the water. Despite Franky telling him to come out of the water, the crew realize that they are surrounded by Kung Fu Dugongs, but want to avoid fighting them and accidentally making them their disciples. Brook uses his music to make them all fall asleep instead, and Trap curses them for harming his dugongs. The water in the room starts to drain and the Sunny falls through a hole, but Robin uses her powers to lower the ship to safety, after which Luffy punches through the wall and the crew successfully escape Trap Tower, but start to fall back down into the sea as a result. Instead, they fall onto a giant slide, as Trap releases a group of Giants known as the Giant Nine, with each one of the nine giants ordered to swing a spiked club at the Straw Hats' ship, destroying a part of the slide behind them with every missed swing. Luffy and Usopp manage to each attack one of the giants, but the ship continues down the slide. As the ship reaches the first giant again, Franky's Dugong reappeared with three barrels of cola it stole from the tower. Franky loads the barrels and uses Coup de Burst to launch the Sunny at the giant and Gaon Cannon to knock him over. The giant's club goes flying into the air and hits the tower above, causing the upper half of it to collapse. As Trap and his Tower finally fall, the Thousand Sunny flies away from the Coup de Burst, and Franky praises his Dugong, as the rest of the dugongs begin to awaken. Chopper translates for them and tells the crew that they want to fight again, Luffy agrees, and Nami slaps and scolds him while he laughs. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji prepare to fight them, and Nami shouts at Brook to just put them all to sleep.

Episode Of Luffy
During some spare time on the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats have a mock introductory show with Usopp hosting. Once Luffy's turn was done, they are interrupted by an attack from several Marine battleships. During the battle, the Straw Hats are forced to make an emergency Coup de Burst in order to escape a sudden attack from above, in the form of an immensely large cannonball. Crash landing on a nearby island, they decide to explore while Franky repairs and moves the ship. While Franky works on a way to move the ship back into the water, the rest of the Straw Hats explore the local town to re-supply what was broken or lost in the landing. However they all notice that the town is in short supply of everything and that only women, children or the elderly run the shops. Eventually Brook, Robin and Nami discover the site of a past cannon attack located directly opposite the Marine base. Later, Luffy comes across what appears to be a fruit stall on the outskirts of the town. Trying to eat several pieces, he quickly discovers that they are actually fake fruits made of wax. From behind, an old man approaches and quickly bursts into laughter over Luffy's mistake, then introduces himself as Diego, the man who had sculpted the fruits. Going inside, Diego is suddenly left dumbstruck as the entirety of his home had been blown away except the front wall and, upon looking over the hill discovers that it was the Thousand Sunny which had caused the damage in its crash landing. Apologizing for the destruction they had caused, Luffy is then led underground where he discovers the pride of Diego's collection, a multitude of life-like wax sculptures of famous pirates. Luffy recognizes many of the sculptures in the collection room, but after seeing Shanks' sculpture, he is reminded of his childhood and the days when Shanks and his crew had visited Foosha Village, which culminated with his consumption of the Gomu Gomu no Mi and a near lethal encounter with the mountain bandit Higuma where Shanks had sacrificed his arm to save Luffy, earning the boy's eternal respect and admiration. Later, Usopp and Chopper discover the underground section and marvel at the wax figures, leading Diego to show them how his particular wax was created. Noting a poorly crafted figure of Whitebeard on a nearby shelf, Diego mentions that the wax itself is of a much higher quality then the one he can create and demonstrates this by easily destroying his own wax by knocking the sculpture against it though notes that it is weak against fire. Asking who had created it, Diego admits that the man was no longer around and had left him to join the Marines, which was his son, Regis. Diego then explains the island's situation. Hand Island is an island of artisans that was once under the protection of Whitebeard. However, after he died in the Summit War of Marineford, rival pirates quickly set their sights on his territory. Marines quickly stepped in and built a base nearby which restored peace. Eventually, during mid-construction, Commodore Bilić was put in command. He called for a meeting of the townspeople and asked that they help build a cannon to help ward off pirate attacks which the people happily agreed to. Among them was Regis, who had joined the Marines to help the island, much to the dismay of Diego, who had hoped he would follow in his footsteps. However, once the cannon was completed, Bilić fired on the town as "practice", destroying several buildings and killing a few innocents as well. It soon became obvious that he just wanted the cannon for his own ends and used the families of the builders as his own hostages lest he fire the cannon on the rest of the town. After telling this tale, Diego starts to head off to the Marine base to give Regis the Whitebeard figurine. But Luffy offers to go instead. Luffy later regroups with the entire crew and tells them his intention. After hearing this the others draw lots to see who'll go with him with Sanji and Usopp chosen. The next day the three head for the Marine base on the Mini Merry. Once they reach the base, the marines open fire once they notice Luffy forcing Sanji and him to invade the base which quickly leads into a chase. Eventually, the two find Regis and give him the figurine but Luffy is captured in a seastone cage once he steps on the platform where Regis's cell is. The wheel turns towards the water submerging the two. Sanji manages to jump in and free the pair and they escape into ocean via a sewer fan where they regroup with Usopp. The four rest on a reef where Regis explains he made the doll when he was six. When he went to join the Marines, Diego tried to at least have him take the figurine with him but he declined. Regis feels that he disappointed his father for not following the path he wanted. But after seeing the figure and being told that Diego always treasured it, he realizes that his father still believes in him. Likewise Diego, after being told why Regis was thrown in jail, is happy of his conviction to protect the island. After hearing this, the four then notice that Bilić has started firing on the town, thinking the villagers are hiding the Straw Hats and demands they turn them over or he will destroy the town. Luffy's group head back to the base and make their way inside with Usopp and Sanji distracting the Marines while Luffy and Regis sneak in. Bilić, thinking the townspeople sent the Straw Hats after him, fires another cannon at the town but it's sliced in half by Zoro. As Zoro continues to defend the town from Bilić's cannon, Luffy and Regis make their way into the base and gather as much wax as they can. The Straw Hats fight against the Marines while Regis makes his way up to the cannon's barrel and activates the wax, causing it to backfire and destroy itself. Bilić emerges from the rubble of the cannon, obviously angered. He burns Regis's Whitebeard figure to mock Luffy as well as him then reveals he has a mobile cannon as a back up. Luffy faces off against him, but suffers trouble due to the cannon's speed, the constant bombardment Bilić fires into his rubber body and the spinning tops fitted with blades sent after him. His crew (along with some help from Koby) help take out the tops and Luffy finally manages to beat Bilić by getting in close enough to grab his snake puppet and pummel him with an Elephant Gatling, destroying his cannon in the process. Kizaru suddenly shows up, much to the shock of everyone. The Marines believe he was the one who stopped Bilić and cheer for him as the Straw Hats make a hasty exit. However it turns out the Kizaru is really another wax sculpture created by Diego who made it on the request of Koby. Using the charade (as well as Diego throwing his voice to imitate the Admiral), Koby places Bilić under arrest and states he is likely to be court martialed while declaring that it was never the Marines' intention to enslave the island. He orders the Marines to help rebuild the island while Diego and Regis reconcile. Koby watches the Straw Hats go, promising he'll catch up to Luffy soon to which Luffy, seemingly hearing this, laughs in agreement. However as the crew flees, they realize they accidentally left Zoro on Hand Island.

Glorious Island
As the crew leisurely mess around on the Thousand Sunny, Luffy, Nami and Brook are seen relaxing in the inflatable pool outside the Sunny. As Luffy enjoys the pool, he soon notices the presence of a Sea Monster with the appearance of a horse towering the Sunny. As everyone notices the monster, they start to panic, as Luffy fights it when Sanji asks him to catch it for dinner. After Luffy defeats the monster, he accidentally knocks his away, forcing everyone to chase after it with the Sunny. As the chase begins, Nami is simply happy that she is safe, despite Chopper trying to revive Brook, who she almost drowned. They eventually reach where the monster landed, with Luffy excited about eating it. As Zoro reminds Sanji not to forget the booze as well, Sanji comments on how that's all he thinks about, leading to the two of them arguing. Franky gets involved and tries to calm Zoro down, which only makes him annoyed at Franky, until Franky suggests that they should have a party. As Franky starts to talk about having a cherry blossom party, everyone is confused but interested. Later Chopper asks Nami her opinion on his new milk based diet, but Nami simply asks him to give her a hand setting up a poolside chair and umbrella so she can sunbathe. Chopper offers her some of his milk, but Nami states that she would like some orange juice instead. later on, Franky explains to the other guys that their party should be a buffet. With everyone originally against the idea, Franky goes on to list the different number of foods that they can have thanks to the sea monster meat, which gets the others dreaming and imagining the food as well. After getting everyone excited about the idea, Luffy starts imagining an whole island filled with meat, with Zoro imagining a waterfall made of booze to go with it. Franky adds the idea of gigantic hamburgers with fries and cola, and Chopper wants clouds of cotton candy and cow milk bath. Brook gets so excited about this glorious dream island that he boldly asks Nami if he could see her panties, making her mad enough to kick him and tell him to come back to reality. As Brook lays on the ground, Sanji shows up telling everyone that the real meat is ready. As the cherry blossoms start to rain down and the party starts, Chopper watches in amazement as Franky makes cherry blossoms rain down across the Sunny.
One Piece Film Z
Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates are having a cherry blossom party. Luffy is goofing off, stuffing himself with meat while Brook is singing. Chopper becomes distressed when inhaling poison drifting in the air, while Brook is inspired to write a song about it. The smell is shown coming from Usopp spraying poison over his Pop Greens, as Robin happily waters some of the plants. Usopp reassures Luffy that the poison is merely meant for killing worms with Zoro showing a liking to the tainted flavor of his alcohol. Chopper finds his milk still tastes bad and worries it's because he's growing up into an adult. Luffy tries it and finds it tasted horrible too. Volcanic ash suddenly begins to rain from the sky much to their confusion. Nami studies her Log Pose and finds the needle spinning where the volcano had erupted from. She realizes that the needle must be spinning around because the volcano must have destroyed the island and the needle no longer has a magnetic field to lock on. Franky says it is impossible, but she points out that they are in the New World, anything is possible. Usopp whispers to her that they have to hide this from Luffy and choose a safer route. Despite it, Luffy notices the spinning needle, deciding to head in that direction. Usopp whines, but Nami tells him to trust in her navigational skills. He warns her that the paths they choose could cost them their lives, but she tells him the matter is out of their hands now. As Usopp continues to whine, Luffy spots the battered body of Z clinging to life on a piece of driftwood out at sea, and attempts to rescue him. When he grabs ahold of his mechanical arm, he becomes weak and Sanji and Usopp having to help pull Z aboard. Chopper examines Z, but finds that he should be fine. Nami shows signs of suspicion, worrying that they picked up someone problematic. Robin notices his arm is built out of Seastone, the reason why Luffy became weak when he touched him. Sanji reminds them all that Seastone is used against Devil Fruit users with him and Zoro debating whether to throw him overboard. Chopper defends him, with Luffy ordering him to save his life and that he would deal with him if he was an enemy. Z awakens later in Chopper's infirmary, with Zoro and Sanji standing guard outside. He thanks Chopper for his care, calling him a great medic and meets Luffy who remained in the room during Z's treatment. Z immediately tags him as the ship's captain. Luffy asks him what he plans to do next, as Z tells him he is carrying a Vivre Card and his comrades should find him soon. Luffy begins asking questions about Z, his arm, and what he is doing. Things seem to go fine at first. At least until Luffy reveals he is a pirate. Z instantly attacks and throws Luffy through the wall after he tells him that they talk and Luffy reveals that he is a pirate. He asks Luffy why he is a pirate to which Luffy proudly responds he will be the Pirate King. This comment infuriates Z, as he madly swings his Battle Smasher around. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji all begin fighting him with Z able to hold them all off with relative ease. Ain and Binz then arrive with a fleet of ships and board the Sunny, announcing they will be confiscating it. Franky attacks, with Binz summoning vines that are able to subdue him. Robin tries attacking, but he proves too quick for her to grab him with her arms. Usopp, Chopper and Brook rush to help, but Binz ensnares them all in vines as well. Nami briefly battles Ain, but she uses her Devil Fruit ability and shrinks Nami down to a small child. Chopper breaks out of the vines and charges her, but Ain evades him and uses her ability on him as well. She goes on to use her power on the subdued Brook. Robin tries to grab her before she can continue, and demands to know what she did to Nami and Chopper. However, Ain takes advantage of Robin's powers, and touches her duplicated arms to de-age her to the appearance of a young teen. Ain explains she has the ability to revert things with a touch by 12 years. She tells Robin she would only need to touch her two more times and she would disappear. Z overpowers the Monster Trio and throws them out into the deck of the ship. He grabs Luffy with his Battle Smasher, sapping away his powers and chastises Luffy's dream, telling him he will never be Pirate King with his strength. Curiosity piqued, he asks Luffy his name. When he tells him, Z connects him as Garp's grandson before throwing him onto the deck with the other Straw Hats. He announces to the Straw Hats he will destroy all pirates and orders the Neo Marines to attack the Sunny, bombarding her with cannons. While Luffy wishes to continues his battle with Z, the pleas of his crewmates force him to retreat. He frees Franky from his bonds who quickly heads for the steering and he uses a Coup de Burst to escape much to the surprise of the Neo Marines. Luffy and the Straw Hats are recovering on a nearby island, where Franky goes to work on fixing the Sunny. He tells Luffy to go after Z while he repairs the damage done. Chopper regrets saving Z's life, but Sanji tells him a pirate should live without regrets of what he believes in. Nami tells him that they must track them down, or else she will never get her original body back. She would not be as helpful a Navigator to them without her full grown body. Nami proposes gathering intel on their enemy as the first place to start. Mobston, an old man approaches them and asks if they had a run in with Z. He tells them many pirate ships that have come to the island have been attacked by him. He tells that many who had been attacked by him, lost their will to continue and left the New World. He is pleasantly surprised Luffy still wishes to fight him, after losing so badly to him and offers up his finest equipment to use in their quest. Nami tells the crew to not arouse suspicion, they need a new change of clothes first. They are told their best place to start is to take the Sea Train to Secon Island. As they head to their next destination, they split up their search. Luffy, Brook, Sanji, and Zoro, all relax in a local hot spring to rest, recover, and prepare for the upcoming fight. While elsewhere, Nami and Robin have gotten work at a bar. Robin woos the crowd with her good looks and dancing, as Nami works as a server. Usopp is disguised as Robin's manager, and Chopper works outside as a shoe shiner. Later, Nami and Usopp meet up with Chopper to share information. Chopper reports he heard rumors of some Marines showing up because of Z. Usopp says there are lots of Marines where he was, but is unsure if it has to do with Z or Robin's popularity. Though on aside, they did make some good money (which Nami instantly takes when Usopp shows Chopper). As Nami got the information regarding Z's Plan to destroy the Endpoints, she got caught by the marines in the process, which lead to Robin subduing them as they take off with their cover now blown. As they catch up with Luffy's group, another group of Marines are chasing them down. Luffy dispatches them all with his Supreme King Haki. Reluctantly, the Marine Captain tells him the location of Z. The Dyna Stones on the island explode, causing the volcano to erupt. Z informs his men the destruction of the Second Point has been a success and they need only destroy one more island. With Z in front of them once more, Luffy charges forth and attacks with his Gomu Gomu no Rifle technique. Z blocks it, showing mild surprise to see Luffy. Luffy demands Z change his friends back to normal, as Ain and Binz attack. As Luffy's rematch with Z continues the nearby volcano begins to erupt and destroy the island. Kuzan saves the lives of some civilians by knocking away a volcanic rock and tells them to get to the Sea Train. Kuzan looks on at the devastation, wondering if Z has finally lost his mind. As Luffy and Z's fight grows more intense, Z mocking Luffy telling him if he keeps being afraid of his Battle Smasher, he'll never land any hits on him. He strikes the ground, sending Luffy flying away. He catches up and fires more bullets at Luffy that he deflects back at him. Luffy tells him his bullets will never harm him, until Z pulls out a small pistol and fires a bullet into his shoulder made from Seastone. Mocking Luffy further, he tells him the strongest people in the New World would never have let themselves be hit with it and he relies too much on is Devil Fruit power. He takes Luffy's hat, promising to bury it himself once he has finished destroying the age of pirates. Luffy tries to grab it from him, telling Z the hat was given to him by Shanks. He grabs Luffy in his powerful grips and tells him Shanks, along with the rest of the Four Emperors will all die before they know what is happening. Luffy is enraged, screaming at him to not mock Shanks as Z blasts Luffy away. Zoro and the others find Luffy, and help carry him to safety as the deadly ash cloud rolls down the mountain. Usopp uses one of his Pop Greens to make a banana shaped boat they ride against the wind with. They are unable to escape and just as their deaths seemed imminent, Kuzan encases the magma and ash in a gigantic layer of ice giving them time to escape. Luffy and the Straw Hats board the sea train and flee, just before the island blows. The Straw Hats return to Dock Island, as Luffy is patched up and has the Seastone bullet removed. Kuzan appears before the crew again, telling Luffy to stop moping. Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Robin are shown terrified, but Luffy assures them it is alright. Kuzan explains Z's plan to the crew of destroying the three Endpoints with the Dyna Stones to release the Grande Imbuto, a fissure line underneath the Grand Line. If Z destroys the last one, this will allow the magma flow to be release and flood the sea with fire. Though doing so will not only kill pirates, but innocents as well. Now that two of the Endpoints have been destroyed, Z is about to go to the last one, Piriodo, and unless the Straw Hats stop him, the Pirate Era will end. The Endpoints had been considered a legend, with most thinking it was nonsense. The government covered up the truth about them, to dissuade pirates from using it. That only the World Government and highest ranking officers of the Marines know about it. He laments that it is an Admiral abusing this knowledge above all else. He reminds them that he is not doing this out of power, but to punish pirates. Luffy remains undeterred despite being defeated twice by Z, vowing to chase him down and get his hat back. If he lets Z keep his hat, he could never face Shanks or be worthy of the Pirate King title. Kuzan then gives the crew an Eternal Pose leading to Piriodo. If they lose to Z, they will be destroyed along with the New World. Or, if they win they will be attacked by the Marines. With that said he leaves them to their own fates. Franky then reminds the crew about the equipment they were promised earlier, showing a large stash of armor and weapons Mobston had saved up from the previous crews that suffered from Z's wrath. hey suit up in their new gear and head out. As they are leaving, Gari approaches Luffy telling him he wants to grow up to be a hero but cant decide whether he wants to be an Admiral or a pirate. Sanji flatly states pirates are not heroes. But Luffy chimes in saying if both feel the same, then it is okay and just do whatever he pleases. Gari watches the Straw Hat Pirates leave, filled with admiration for them. The Straw Hats intercept a blockade of Neo Marine warships guarding Piriodo. They blast through their defenses with the Gaon Cannon before landing on the beaches with an army waiting for them. The Straw Hats begin fighting, using their new weapons to help. Chopper fights off the hordes using his Guard Point, holding many rifles within himself. As the fight against the neo marines intensifies, Chopper uses his Kung-Fu point, able to physically hold off the soldiers and dodge their every moves. The Straw Hats win their battles, standing victorious over the defeated Neo Marines. However an army of modified Pacifista appear and begin their onslaught. The crew are forced to run until Franky arrives in the Franky Shogun to turn the tide. Franky takes on the Pacifista, able to fight them all off with his superior strength. Once clustered together, he destroys them with a powerful Radical Beam. After Ain's defeat by Zoro, her effects begin to wear off. Nami grows back to her adult size, with the armor she is sporting now barely fitting her body. Chopper reverts back growing slightly, along with Robin and Brook (though it does not seem to show any signs of change on him). The group head on to catch up with Luffy. The Straw Hats catch up to the battle, seeing Luffy had fought hard against Z and had managed to leave an imprint of his fist inside Z's giant metal fist. Z asks him why he wants to fight him so much. That even if he defeats him, nobody will thank him for his efforts for the stigma of being a pirate. Luffy responds if he cannot defeat him, he will never be able to become the Pirate King. The Battle Smasher breaks then and there and falls from Z's arm, revealing a smaller mechanical arm he can still use. Z tells Luffy he is going to dedicate his life to ending his ambition, challenging him for a final bout. Z and Luffy activate their Armament Haki, their arms turning a hardened black. The two engage in a brutal fist fight, both striking each other with imbued Haki. Kuzan is seen watching their match from a distance, stating "Black Arm" Zephyr has returned. Z and Luffy both give each other hard punches to the chest and stomach, giving Luffy a moment to recoil and puke. Luffy strikes back a punch that knocks Z's glasses right off. A brief flashback is seen in his mind of his early childhood, rattling his early memories. Z becomes elated, that he is being given such a good fight. Both Luffy and him are worn out, still pushing each other with punches back and forth. He corners Luffy and begins pounding on him, with Luffy showing little sign he can defend himself anymore. As Z begins to gain the upper hand, Luffy pushes him back with a kick. Fighting on their last reserves, Luffy shouts he is going to be the Pirate King with Z shouting his name in absolute confidence. After exchanging a few more blows to one another, Luffy finally collapses from exhaustion. Z falls to the ground after, unable to fight anymore too. Z bitterly says he's gotten old, and his body cannot keep up with him anymore. He finds it disappointing, telling Luffy he was enjoying fighting him. As the battle ends, the Straw Hats rush over to Luffy's aid, with Ain and Binz doing the same for Z. Z tells Luffy to finish him, but Luffy merely tells him he is already satisfied as he regains his straw hat, giving him a smile. He offers to continue fighting him, if he wants but Z turns him down, also being satisfied. Kizaru then arrives with his army, telling them he is going to kill them all. Z says he's done everything he's wanted to do, and now will face the price for it as he marches towards the Marine army. He dismisses Luffy, and tells him to leave the rest to him. Ain tries to rush to his side, but Kuzan summons a giant wall of ice dividing everyone from him. Luffy silently looks on, honoring his sacrifice. The Straw Hats depart the island, watching the battle unfold in grim silence as Z gives up his life to save them. During the credits, it is revealed that after Z's defeat, the Straw Hats returned to Dock Island one last time, to return the gear and weapons Mobston had given them. They bid them farewell, and Gari decided to become a pirate, wearing Luffy's borrowed attired.

Caesar Retrieval Arc
A group of dark figures board the Thousand Sunny and attack the crew members, ceasing only at the command of a strange man named Breed, who captured Caesar. Law, Luffy, and Chopper pursued him in the Shark Submerge III, and sneaked into Breed's ship. Breed locked Caesar in a cell, and explained that Breed does not work for Doflamingo but is connected to the underworld. He also knew of Caesar's abilities as a scientist and kidnapped him in order for Caesar to help in creating his dream world. As Luffy's group arrived at the center of Breed's ship, which was designed like an aquarium, they once again were attacked by the mysterious figures, which were revealed to be animals, enslaved by Breed's ability. Luffy defeated their leader, one of the Kung Fu Dugong he had befriended in Arabasta. After the Straw Hats had left Arabasta, it had started a pirate group with other sea creatures to follow Luffy's dreams as well. Breed enslaved the group and was forcing them to do his bidding. Breed arrived and used his ability on Chopper, turning him into a pet under Breed's control. Chopper was ordered to destroy Luffy and Law, and, unable to control his body, he used a Rumble Ball to transform. When Luffy tried to prevent Law from attacking Chopper, Breed managed to attach collars to Luffy and Law as well. Law, Luffy, and the other pets were imprisoned next to Caesar. Breed thought of Chopper as a cute pet and decided to dress him up in a girly princess dress. Chopper wore a pink hat with a red crown, a dark pink shoulders, a pink dress, four pink bows (first two on his antlers and the other two on his skirt), and little pink bloomers. Chopper hated this outfit while Luffy laughed. Later, Chopper watched as Luffy and Law were forced to fight each other. He then watches as the Kung Fu Dugong is forced to fight and finish them off. Upset over this, Chopper and the Dugong prepared to fight Breed, until Luffy and Law return, now free from Breed's control. An enraged Breed decides to use his power on himself so he can destroy them, and orders the animals to attack with him. Unfortunately for him, his control over them breaks and they pin him down, as Luffy and the Dugong both punch Breed together, defeating him. After Breed is defeated and Caesar is retrieved, Luffy, Chopper and Law return to the Sunny, saying their goodbyes to the Kung Fu Dugong and his freed friends. As dawn breaks, the Straw Hat Pirates receive the morning newspaper saying that Doflamingo has resigned from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Episode Of Chopper Plus Bloom In Winter Miracle Sakura
As the Straw Hats reach Drum Island looking for a doctor to treat an ill Nami, the crew split up as they are told about the island's ruler Wapol, forcing everyone to only receive treatment from his personal 20 doctors, and of him fleeing the island with those doctors after the Blackbeard Pirates' invasion. It is revealed that one doctor, Dr. Kureha, remains and that she is a "witch". Luffy and Sanji climb up the mountains with Nami and nearly avoid an avalanche. As Luffy continues climbing the mountain, barely able to keep himself alive in the extreme cold. Just before losing consciousness, he reaches the top of the mountain, where Chopper saves him and brings him, Sanji and Nami in for treatment, curing Nami of her disease. Back on Drum Castle, Nami learns about Chopper's past, and how he was ostracized by his herd and humanity for being different, but eventually was accepted by Dr. Hiriluk, a quack doctor who believed in the ability of the Sakura tree to cure any illness. Unfortunately, Hiriluk was suffering from a fatal disease, and Chopper's attempt to save him backfired, fatally poisoning him. After Wapol lured him into a trap, Hiriluk declared that the country's sickness would one day be cured before drinking a failed medicine and blowing himself up. Eventually, Wapol and his brother Musshuru reach the castle, intending to take back Drum Island. Chopper and Sanji fight against Chess and Kuromarimo. Wapol, using the powers of his Baku Baku no Mi, attempts to shoot Hiriluk's flag off the top of the castle. Luffy protects the flag and starts to fight Musshuru, whose spores knock out Chess and Kuromarimo. Musshuru initially has the advantage in speed and easily defeats Luffy with his Noko Noko no Mi abilities and poisoning him with his spores. Chopper tries to fight back, but he is defeated, too. Musshuru is shot and set on fire by Usopp while Robin quickly administers the antidote to Musshuru's poison to Luffy. Luffy then uses Gear Second allowing him to keep up with and ultimately dominate Musshuru. Wapol escapes into the castle and eats Musshuru, fusing with him in an attempt to annihilate everyone in Drum. Chopper uses Arm Point to launch him into the roof, and Luffy manages to defeat him and send him flying with Gear Third's Gigant Pistol. Some of Musshuru's poisonous spores drift down, but Franky incinerates them with Fresh Fire. After the battle, Robin and Nami manage to persuade Kureha to let her leave by handing over the antidote to the spores. While Chopper initially believes that he could not possibly be friends with any human, he decides to go with Luffy. Chopper tells Kureha, who berates him, claiming that he is not ready to leave home, and chases him out of the castle. She then orders the Drum guards to fire off Hiriluk's Sakura mixture, resulting in a pink snowfall and causing the mountain on which the castle stands to resemble a Sakura tree. With Chopper in tow, the Straw Hats sail off toward the next adventure. As an older Chopper wakes up during the night, surprised that this was all a dream. He had fallen asleep on board the Thousand Sunny, on the Survey Room rooftop. He is called down to enjoy a party with the rest of his crewmates, as snow falls from the sky, reminding him of the Sakura Kingdom. He rushes down to have a toast with the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Heart Of Gold
One Piece Film Gold Episode 0
On the Thousand Sunny, the Straw Hats were having a barbecue. Chopper was in a volleyball match with Nami versus Franky and Robin. Nami and Chopper won their match because Robin used her Devil Fruit ability. Afterwards, The Straw Hats discussed what they will do once they reach Gran Tesoro. Usopp then demonstrated a sumo wrestling show for Gran Tesoro in case betting in the casino failed and Chopper was the referee. Luffy and Usopp first participated and played around. Franky decided to go against Luffy and wanted for them to use their strength. After a long match between Franky and Luffy, they both decided to use their signature attacks, but Nami interrupted and punched them because they could have destroyed the ship. Nami was declared Yokozuna by Chopper, but she declined the title. Moments later, the Straw Hats approached Gran Tesoro.
One Piece Film Gold
The Straw Hats entered Gran Tesoro, and were showered with gold in the entrance. They emerged into a pool of liquid gold that had a concert venue around it, but were immediately attacked by the Long Long Pirates, who intended to rob them and pay off their debts. Usopp rode on top of Chopper in Walk Point, and fired Pop Greens at various enemy pirates. However, Chopper jumped and accidentally made Usopp hit the mast, causing him to fall off. The Straw Hats defeated the Long Long Pirates, and watched as the proprietor of Gran Tesoro, Gild Tesoro, encased the remaining members in gold. The Straw Hats landed and were approached by Baccarat, who offered to give them a VIP stay in Gran Tesoro due to their fame. She drove them through Gran Tesoro in a turtle car and took them to the VIP hotel at the heart of the ship, where the Straw Hats donned new outfits as they began their dream vacation. Nami and the crew were approached by a group of kids selling flowers for 5000, but Baccarat chased the kids away. They went to a casino, where Baccarat gave them 20,000,000 worth in tokens. Nami was appalled when Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper immediately went to participate in a Turtle Car race, but cheered as the trio ended up winning the race. The Straw Hats had a lot of luck with the games, earning lots of tokens, and Baccarat took them to the VIP lounge where they had the chance to become millionaires. The Straw Hats played a dice game there and won, and were approached by Gild Tesoro, who challenged them. They lost, but it was revealed that Baccarat had taken Luffy's luck away with her Devil Fruit power, so they refused to hand over their money. This caused Tesoro and his subordinates to retaliate with force, and Tanaka jumped in and out of the ground, shooting the Straw Hats with his gun and throwing them into chaos. Tesoro managed to capture Zoro, and Nami tried to attack him, but was surprised when Carina came up to her and held a knife to her neck. Tesoro gave the Straw Hats until 12:00 the next night to repay their debt, or else he would kill Zoro. The Straw Hats went outside, where they encountered an acquaintance of Nami's named Carina. They went to a diner with Carina, who revealed to them that a massive portion of Tesoro's wealth was contained in the Hyper Suite Room near the top of the hotel, which they could steal to repay their debt. The Straw Hats agreed to this plan, and afterwards, Carina revealed to everyone except Luffy her true plan, which was to direct seawater out of every fountain on Gran Tesoro and free everyone from Tesoro's control over them. The Straw Hats then slept in a hotel, and tried on disguises later in the day to prepare for their mission. They congregated outside the hotel, and Carina outlined the details of the plan. While Team A, Luffy and Franky, would infiltrate the hotel and disable several Eizo Den Den Mushi that served as security cameras, the rest of them, Team B, would sneak inside and make their way to the door to the Hyper Suite Room. The teams then split, and Team B snuck into the hotel. Carina distracted a group of workers transporting a giant dice container, allowing the Straw Hats to hide inside it, and they were wheeled into a storage room where they met back up with Carina. After getting past a few security guards, Team B entered a hallway that led to the staircase to the Hyper Suite Room, but the hall was guarded by owls with spotlights beaming from their eyes. With Chopper's help, Team B managed to pass through the hall, and they communicated with Team A so the latter could disconnect the Eizo Den Den Mushi watching over the staircase. However, Luffy was discovered and the alarm was raised, causing Team B to be discovered by security guards and chased back down the hall they came from. Team B took refuge in a hidden hallway, but were approached by the World Noble Saint Camael and his entourage. However, the team ambushed the World Nobles, stole their clothing, and emerged disguised as them. Tricking the security guards into thinking they were World Nobles, Team B intimidated them into allowing them back through the hallway, and they raced up the staircase to the Hyper Suite Room. However, they opened the door to find themselves in the middle of an entertainment venue, as part of a trap designed by Gild Tesoro and Carina. Tesoro trapped the Straw Hats in gold tendrils, and prepared to begin the entertainment spectacle by executing Zoro as the Straw Hats' bodies slowly became encased in gold. Suddenly, seawater sprayed from every fountain, as Carina had intended for Luffy and Franky to do. The Straw Hats were freed from their gold encasement and reunited with Luffy, Zoro, and Franky, but Tesoro suddenly blew up the hotel, sending a massive deluge of liquid gold on them. However, Sanji, Robin, and Franky carried their crewmates into the air to safety. Tesoro reemerged inside a giant gold golem and confronted the Straw Hats, and as Luffy battled him, the other Straw Hats and Carina were confronted by Baccarat, Tanaka, and Dice, who were given golden armor and weapons by Tesoro. After taking out several former prisoners of Gran Tesoro, Baccarat confronted Usopp, Chopper, and Brook, planning to take them out with just her luck and a coin. She threw the coin at the trio, causing a chain reaction that resulted in a bomb falling on them and injuring them. Baccarat continued throwing her coin at them, causing more and more misfortune to fall on them until Usopp finally ran away. However, as Baccarat was about to finish off Chopper and Brook, Usopp returned and fired a large purple ball at her, though the ball missed. However, Usopp then fired a Midori Boshi: Dokuro Bakuhatsu So, which successfully hit Baccarat. As Baccarat went down, she expressed shock that she had bad luck, and the purple ball opened to reveal a slot machine filled with gold coins, which had allowed Usopp's luck to triumph over hers. Luffy eventually managed to overpower Tesoro, and Tesoro turned his golem into liquid gold, swamping everyone on Gran Tesoro except Luffy with it and preventing them from moving. However, Luffy managed to defeat Tesoro, freeing everyone on Gran Tesoro from his control, and they rejoiced. Suddenly, a timer appeared, and Carina stated that the ship would sink once it reached zero. The Straw Hats returned to the Thousand Sunny, but found out that the timer was a ruse in order to allow Carina to take control of Gran Tesoro. However, they held no hard feelings, and were forced to sail away once the Marine fleet nearby started chasing them.

However, they came across Fron Island, which Pekoms warned was home to a Marine base, but Chopper, Luffy, Nami, Brook, and Carrot headed there on the Shark Submerge III. When they reached the island, Brook scared some Marines into unconsciousness, and Chopper and the others stole their clothes. Chopper and Nami prepared to raid a food warehouse within the Marine base, but to their shock saw Luffy and Carrot going into a Marine cafeteria. Chopper and Nami eventually followed them into the cafeteria, where they were fed a warm meal by the staff. However, Carrot called out Nami's name extremely loudly, appalling her and Chopper. Nami was proposed to by a Marine named Zappa, and Chopper accompanied her as she ran out into the hall in shock. Luffy was discovered soon afterwards, and Chopper and Nami decided to run to the food warehouse so they could get food for the rest of their journey. They made their way to the warehouse and broke into it. Later, Luffy and Carrot came and reunited with them, but they were confronted by the Marines Grount, Bonham, and Zappa. Chopper confronted Bonham, but was initially overwhelmed by the Marine's Rokushiki. However, Chopper managed to protect himself with Guard Point, and he managed to break through Bonham's Tekkai with Heavy Point, sending him flying into the food storage. However, a giant pot of water was knocked over in the others' fight with Zappa, causing the team to be washed outside in a flood. Grount confronted Luffy, but was defeated, and the team ran to the shore. However, they were then confronted by Vice Admiral Prodi. The group tried to escape to the Submerge, but Prodi shot his bazooka at it before confronting them. The Sanji retrieval team dodged one of his bazooka blast, however, Nami and Carrot's electric attacks were unable to work against the Marines' rubber shields, but Chopper found out that they can overcome the Marines with brute force and they dispatched the Marines with physical attacks, and after Luffy defeated Prodi, Bonham, and Zappa, the team tried to escape to the still-intact Submerge. Luffy was confronted by Grount, and he told the group to go on ahead while he fought. Luffy eventually defeated Grount, and the group sailed away from Fron Island on the Thousand Sunny. However, the food they had stolen was eaten within 10 minutes.

Cidre Guild Arc
Out at sea, the Straw Hats were under attack by a group of bounty hunters known as the Cidre Guild and their guns that shot powerful blasts of carbonated water. They managed to escape by blasting off with Coup de Burst, but upon stopping at an island afterward they found that the Sunny's cola supply had run out. Luffy volunteered to go to the island to buy some cola, and found that it was dotted with pools of carbonated water. A ramune saleswoman named Caramel told Luffy that he could get cola from the factory, but warned him that it was controlled by the Cidre Guild. Luffy raced toward the factory, but was confronted by a Cidre Guild platoon led by Ginger. Ginger overwhelmed Luffy with a powerful carbonation blast, causing him to fall into a sinkhole and get swept away by an underground river. The river took Luffy to a pool where Boa Hancock was bathing, and the two reunited and started a battle against Cidre himself. Meanwhile, the other Straw Hats were fighting the rest of the Cidre Guild on the coast, but the fight soon ended as the Guild members revealed they had been enslaved by Cidre and so had no loyalty to him. As the crew dealt with the enslaved, Luffy continued his battle with Cidre. After a brief clash, Luffy eventually overpowers Cidre and defeats him. He then sees an invitation to the Pirates Festival land on the ground and Luffy picks it up. The liberated Cidre Guild slaves gave the Straw Hats barrels of cola in repayment for their freedom. Luffy reveals to Hancock that he received an invitation to the Pirates Festival, and bids her a temporary farewell. As the Straw Hats sail back out to sea, Luffy reveals the invitation to his crew, and to their shock, Robin reads that this year's Expo will include a hunt for Gol D. Roger's treasure. Luffy is excited to go there, and the crew sets sail to Delta Island where the Expo will be taking place, along with the other crews of the Worst Generation.

Anime And Manga Differences
Summary
Chopper's adventure in Torino Kingdom is extended in the anime. Chopper was wandering around the island right after falling from the giant birds' nest. A native snuck up on Chopper and knocked him out. Chopper woke up to see that he is tied up and about to become the natives' dinner, but managed to break free from his bonds when a couple of giant birds attacked the natives. Some time later, Chopper met a baby bird with injured legs. Chopper tended to the bird's injuries. While the baby bird was recovering, Chopper made the bird promise that when she learns to fly, she would take Chopper back to the Sabaody Archipelago. While wandering in the forest, the baby bird and Chopper are attacked by the natives. They are soon saved by the giant birds. The baby bird's mother then sent Chopper rolling down a hill and carried the baby bird back to its nest. Chopper reminded the baby bird about the promise and then thought about how long will it take for the bird to learn how to fly.

As a main character, Chopper has been the choice character in many forms of merchandise. He has also become something of a mascot for One Piece, and Chopper merchandise such as cell phone straps and printed folders is immensely popular in Japan, to the point that he is probably on more merchandise than Luffy. Due to his size in comparison to other crew members, Chopper figurines are often released alongside another crew member (usually Usopp) in a joint figure. He also has many plushie forms such as the One Piece Fishing Plushies pair or Chopper XMAS Plush pair. He has been featured in the series of models Portrait of Pirates, alongside Usopp. He was issued alongside Hiriluk in a One Piece DeQue set featuring the Straw Hats and their past mentors/loved ones.

Translations And Dub Issues
Summary
The name "Tony Tony Chopper" is partly a play on "Tonakai" ("Reindeer"), and partly on the idea that his horns look like they could chop down trees. In the 4Kids English dub, his attack names are changed, and his forms are named "Boosts" instead of "Points." This carried over to the VIZ manga and edited Funimation dub, though they retain their names in later chapters of the VIZ manga and the uncut dub. He speaks in a deep, gruff voice when in Heavy Boost, Arm Boost, Jumping Boost or Horn Boost, while his voice in his original, Brain Boost, and Guard Boost forms did not change (though they were slightly deeper than usual). Another change in the 4Kids dub is when someone compliments him, he does not insult the person and instead just says that he wants to dance. In the VIZ manga and 4Kids dub, Nefertari Vivi merely calls him "Chopper" rather than his nickname, "Tony-kun." She calls him "Tony" in the Funimation dub.
Trivia
Summary
Chopper has his own jolly roger, as the other members of the crew do, which is a regular Jolly Roger surrounded by sakura that also look like deer hooves. It was the one used by his adoptive father Hiriluk and eventually the Sakura Kingdom as well, which makes him the only Straw Hat whose personal jolly roger was first used by someone else. This one is commonly used in merchandise purposes such as key chains. Chopper has a second post-timeskip jolly roger. The skull in this version resembles his hybrid form's head, wearing his modified hat, but without the antlers. The jolly roger has normal crossbones, with sakura petals flowing across the flag similar to Hiriluk's. Chopper hides a drawn picture of Dr. Hiriluk's pirate flag under his hat. Chopper is the youngest member of the Straw Hat Pirates, with the age of 15 upon joining. Ironically, 15 is the average lifespan of real reindeers in the wild, which would make Chopper, currently 17, relatively old by his species' standards. Chopper is the first character, overall, to join the Straw Hat Pirates since they entered the Grand Line. However, he is not the first they met, as Nico Robin was introduced in the Whisky Peak Arc. Although Oda resisted the idea of a mascot character, he relented after seeing Noboru Koizumi's art and animation of Chopper, as well as hearing Ikue Otani's voice acting of the character. Chopper is very similar to, and possibly based off of, the legendary Christmas figure, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Both are reindeer who born with unusually colored noses, and were treated as outcasts by all the other reindeer because of said noses. The biggest difference between them is while Rudolph was eventually accepted by his kind for saving Christmas, Chopper was completely rejected by his herd after consuming the Hito Hito no Mi. Chopper's birthday is on Christmas Eve. A song entitled "Chopper the Blue-Nosed Reindeer" has also been produced for the character and was sung by the Japanese voice acting cast at Jump Festa 2007, and once again during the 2008 Festa. In the beginning of the Drum Island Arc, when a character was describing how Dr. Kureha would come down from the top of the mountain, a silhouette of Chopper in his original reindeer form was pulling her down on a sled in the sky, greatly resembling that of Santa Claus. His first mentor, Dr. Hiriluk would sometimes enter people's houses through the chimney, another quirk similar to Santa. It is possible that the leader of the herd that Chopper was born from was in fact Chopper's father. In real life, a reindeer sheds its antlers at the end of each year and regrows them by next year, so Chopper's left antler should realistically have regrown by the time he met the Straw Hats. Throughout the series, Chopper has often questioned or has been questioned as to what he is (man, reindeer, tanuki, gorilla, etc). In Chapter 595, Chopper finally starts accepting he is possibly a "monster". In Japanese fan polls, Chopper was voted the fourth most popular character from the second to the fourth poll, but in the fifth and sixth polls he dropped down to seventh place. In the seventh poll he dropped down to sixteenth place. Oda said that the message he wanted to illustrate in regard to Chopper's family situation is that a person who is not blood-related to another person can still be considered as a member of one's family. Chopper's Monster Point form strongly resembles the Wendigo, a man-eating monster from Algonquin folklore. Depending on the portrayal, they are towering creatures covered in hair with a large mouth and antlers, that always appear gaunt and emaciated no matter how much they gorge themselves. They are strongly associated with winter and coldness, and even their heart is made of ice in some cases. A running gag in the series is that, when in a cold climate, someone in the crew always asks Chopper to take his fur off to be used as a coat. Chopper always falls for it before he exclaims that his fur cannot be removed. Another common running gag is Chopper being considered the "emergency food supply" of the crew, much to his panicking. Chopper is the first non-human Devil Fruit eater shown. In One Piece: Pirate Warriors 3, Chopper is immune to being petrified by Boa Hancock's Mero Mero no Mi powers, which is a reference to his lack of interest or attraction to human females. Chopper himself will even remark on the Mero Mero no Mi having no effect on him if he defeats Hancock in battle. When the characters are celebrating a party, Chopper is always doing Yasugi Bushi, a traditional Japanese folk song and dance while putting two sticks in his nostrils and his mouth. The X in Chopper's hat is supposed to be a medical cross, but tilted to the side. Chopper is the only member of the Straw Hat Pirates with bounties below 1,000,000. Chopper also has the lowest and smallest known bounty increases in the world.

Chopper's birthday is December 24. In Japan, Christmas is celebrated on both December 24th and 25th. A fan noticed in the panel where Chopper meets Holy that Chopper's antlers were connected to his hat rather than his head. Wondering how this is possible, the fan sent a letter to Oda asking about it. Having received several letters like it, Oda answered to the fan and the others asking the same question, that they should not take the scene too literally. It is simply Chopper expressing shock similar to how other characters express shock with their eyes popping out. Chopper would later react this way again during the fight against Monet.
